Re: [ros-dev] Summer of Code 2010

Well, here are some suggestions:

   - Sound Stack & NVDA (already mentioned)
   - USB - Having working USB support, particularly for flash drives would
   be very useful
   - USB Flash Drive Booting - This is quite important. Having ROS-NVDA
   bootable from a flash drive would be useful for the visually impaired etc.,
   as they could boot any PC into an accessible environment.
   - Also, having portable ReactOS is useful anyway for recovery and all
   sorts of things - especially as you can't legally do it with Windows without
   a second license

Also, ROS-NVDA would be a good idea, but I think we should make sure our
website is accessible to screen readers too - the website redesign should
make this possible.
