If you find that any of the information contained in this document is incorrect or if you know of other emailing lists of interest to the blind and visually impaired, their friends and family, and/or professionals in the blindness and vision loss field, please contact me, Gregory J. Rosmaita so that I can make the necessary corrections and/or additions to BLIST. Listowners who would like expanded descriptions of their lists and its features included in this document, are also asked to contact the maintainer of BLIST, Gregory J. Rosmaita.
Due to a wide variety of connectivity and infrastructural problems, it has been very difficult for me to effectively monitor my email for the past several months. Therefore, if you have contacted me since the last comprehensive overhaul of BLIST on Febrauary 23, 2000, requesting:
please resend your BLIST information request to BOTH of the following eddresses:
<oedipus@hicom.net> AND <unagi69@concentric.net>
I apologize sincerely for any inconvenience, but the integrity of the information contained in BLIST, as well as my commitment to ensuring full informational equivalency between the hypertextualized and non-hypertextualized versions of BLIST, is my over-riding concern. Thanks to all who have continued to keep me abreast of the appearance of new lists and changes to established lists.

In the Spring of 1999, The Disability Unit at the University of Cape Town, South Africa, started a mailing list named ACA-BLIND, for blind and visually impaired students and academics (especially those in Africa) who wish to talk about access to literature, adaptive technology, and other tertiary educational issues affecting blind people.
The impetus behind the ACA-BLIND emailing list is the need of blind and visually impaired students and academics to have access to a pool of specialised knowledge, experience, advice and exchange of ideas. This list, a first of its kind in South Africa, is not heavily moderated, but should serve as a springboard to varied academic access discussions, including (but not limited to) access to literature, adaptive technology, and the broader activities of academic institutions.

ACCESS-L is an open form for the free and unmoderated discussion of access. This discussion can be either a technical one, as related to computers, or a more general discussion of any aspect of accessibility. It is not, however, limited and topics of general interest to the group are encouraged.
Although the original emphasis of ACCESS-L was the discussion of all aspects of computer access for the blind/VI, and many of the list's subscribers are persons with a "disability", all interested parties are more than welcome to participate.
Those who wish to advertize products are asked not to do it on the list. However product announcements are welcome as is the participation of interested vendors.
List members are asked to keep all conversation free of personal attacks, racial remarks, or attacks of a religious nature. There is already enough of that in this world. The intent is for everyone to enjoy themselves and not to feel alienated or singled out.

BASR-L is a professional mailing list for the discussion of blind web access issues. The main focus of BASR-L is to improve the access blind people have to the World Wide Web. (It is not a list for support on existing products and features, since other lists, such as ACCESS-L, BLIND-L, GUISpeak, WEBWATCH-L, and Lynx-Learners, amongst others, already provide that service.)
BASR-L aims at promoting dialogue between blind individuals, web professionals, adaptive technology industry professionals, software developers, and other individuals interested in improving blind people's access to the web.
If you are a blind consumer interested in working with browser companies to develop an understanding of how blind people could use browsers most effectively, you are invited to join BASR-L. Certainly, no such effort can hope to succeed without your active participation.
If you are a professional associated with the development of web and browser technology, and would like to help blind people gain the best access possible to the web, you are invited to join BASR-L. You will learn how blind people use computers to access information they usually can't get any other way. Our effort will not succeed without the active participation of professionals from the industry that brings web browsers to market.
If you are an access technology developer or professional who is interested in developing approaches for World Wide Web access, you are invited to join BASR-L. This listserve would be an excellent forum for developing mutual strategies with browser developers. Your experience in providing blind people access to information technology will be invaluable to this group's efforts.
If you are a researcher in these or associated fields, and you are interested in testing the limits of non-visual web browsing, you are invited to join BASR-L. You will learn about the practical opportunities available in non-visual information technology today. And, we need your vision of a better tomorrow to insure the best browsing products possible.
Specially adapted computer interfaces based on synthetically generated speech (and on refreshable braille displays) have transformed the lives of many blind people over the past twenty years. BASR-L has been formed to provide a professional forum for developing the necessary ideas and contacts to insure that these gains in technology continue for blind people's quality of life and success in employment in the information age.
Some of the potential topics of discussion include:

BlinDate is a support list dedicated to the discussion of dating and relationships from a blind/vi perspective. The main thrust of the list is to provide blind and sighted people with a way to exchange feelings and techniques for dealing with the complications of dating and relationships and to vent their frustrations. The listowners, however, do not encourage political announcements or commercials, because doing so will divert the list from its orignal purpose. Please be VERY discrete when talking about anything pertaining to a sexual content--there is a list named BlindAdult for such topics of discussion. The focus of this list, BlinDate, is on feelings regarding dating and relationships.

The purpose of BLIND-DEV is to serve as a catalyst which will both spur and speed the development of software which will enable the blind user to use emerging technologies, platforms, operating systems, and applications as they are developed, so that access is built-in, rather than retrofitted.
BLIND-DEV, therefore, is a conduit through which software developers and users--whatever their area of interest, level of expertise, operating system and/or hardware platform of choice--are able to dialogue, brainstorm, and educate one another. While BLIND-DEV is intended as a technologically oriented list, list "lurkers" are also welcome to monitor this dialogue.

BLIND-ISSUES is an emailing list dedicated to the free and open discussion of what is happening in the social and political world of the blind and visually impaired.
According to Cathy Murtha, co-listowner of BLIND-ISSUES,
Many things affect the lives of the blind and visually impaired in everyday life. With this in mind, we thought a list which dealt with the major issues of the day would be a welcome addition to the lists specifically designed for the blind and visually impaired.
Topics which bog down and consume other email lists, such as blindness-related organizations and their goals, policies, conventions, and treatment of social issues; transportation issues specific to the blind; and discrimination shown by society toward the blind, are welcome on BLIND-ISSUES, as is the general anger and frustration which may be a part of every day life, and whatever else makes you a little hot under the collar.
We want BLIND-ISSUES to be a list for you to vent your frustrations or a place to find a sympathetic ear. If you are in the mood for a spirited debate, BLIND-ISSUES can accommodate!
The rules which govern BLIND-ISSUES are simple:

BlindWithSight is a list for people who are classified as legally blind, but who have some sight. According to the list's founder, Merv Keck:
I called [the list] BindWithSight because I don't know how to identify myself. Am I partially blind or partially sighted? Which world do I fit in? The totally blind tell me I'm sighted and I don't understand. The sighted call me blind, and put me in a box. This list is for discussion of issues, stories, experiences, and anything else related to those who are "blind" with some sight.

One of the first steps in this direction is the compilation of HOWTO documentation files, in a wide variety of formats and languages, which will enable blind, visually impaired, deaf-blind, and low-vision users to install LINUX on their computers themselves. To find out more about this aspect of the BLINUX project, please read Michael de la Rue's position paper, a hypertext version of which can be found at:

If you are a professional working in the field of blind computer use, BLINUX-LIST is the ideal source of new, interesting information and a means of sharing your experiences with others.
If you are a hacker who is blind, you may use BLINUX-LIST to get the newest blind support software for Linux.

DBTechies will feature information about new products for use by the deaf-blind, as well as discussion of whether mainstream products and products designed for use by the blind can be used by the deaf-blind.
A great deal of the information in The DB Techies Newsletter will be culled from the net. DBTechies is a moderated list, which means that before a post is distributed to subscribers, it is first reviewed for appropriateness by the listowner.

In the words of Dennis Brown, the listowner of the JFWScripts emailing list:
The JFWScripts list has been established in the hopes that the "Script Gurus", official or otherwise, will be willing to help us mere mortals in writing, editing, and developing new scripts for the JAWS for Windows screen reader. The JFW Script language is a powerful, flexible, and largely unsupported resource which endows the user with the ability to do damn near anything they like, given a little ingenuity and encouragement.
Anyone and everyone who uses JFW is encouraged to join the JFWScripts list--especially people from Henter-Joyce's script team, unofficial script gurus, and anyone else interested in getting the most out of this script language!
If you've got a question about the script language in general, or a certain script in particular; if you've tried creating a script, and it isn't doing what you thought it would do; if you can't get a script to compile; or if you'd just like to bounce an idea or two off other script writers, then the JFWScripts list is the place to do it!

Linux4Blind is a group of people interested in empowering individuals with disabilities throughout the world through free computer hardware, software, and training. We will begin our activities by focusing on assisting individuals who are blind by providing them with Linux-based machines and the necessary know-how to operate them productively.
Our objective is to empower individuals with disabilities who are also economically disadvantaged so that these may live more productive and rewarding lives. The choice of individuals who are blind as our first target group stems from the fact that this is the disability we understand best. The choice of Linux, as our first platform for free distribution, is due to the following reasons:
The idea for this project coalesced very recently (on December 3, 1999, to be specific), thus the narrow focus on all the blind population in the world!
The listowners of Linux4Blind are sure that others may have independently come up with a similar idea, and welcome all such like-minded individuals to work with us to make our common dream a reality. We welcome the help of each and every one of you in all areas of this endeavor.
If you would like to help with individual tasks or projects but will not be able to participate continuously in the group's activities, please consider subscribing to Linux4Blind's low-traffic sister list Linux4Blind_News, to be informed of major events and/or projects.

Lynx-Learners is a peer-support list for users of Lynx, an extremely speech-friendly, text-based web browser popular amongst blind users.
LYNX-LEARNERS provides a supportive environment through which new users of Lynx can ask questions of, and learn from, more experienced users. LYNX-LEARNERS also functions as a forum for brainstorming, as well as for the development and sharing of browsing strategies, shortcuts, and tricks.
Although LYNX-LEARNERS is not intended to function as an exclusively blindness-specific list, most of its members are visually handicapped, and hence it is an ideal source of assistance, advice, support, and encouragement for the blind or visually-handicapped user.
In the words of the listowner, Jeff D. Doran:
The goals of this list, lynx-learners, include and are barely limited to the monstrous task of helping each other fully learn Lynx. We certainly cover related topics as needed: Internet, World Wide Web, hypertext, HTML (the HyperText Mark-up Language), Usenet news groups, ftp, gopher, telnet, email, 'net security, text editors, Unix, speech synthesizers (the hardware that converts text into electronic speech), SOSAS (speech output screen access software, the program that sends text from the terminal screen to the speech synthesizer), subtopics within those major topics and whatever experiment or Internet source or example we happen to deal with at any given moment. Is that all clear? Excellent, I'm dazed, too! <smile> I enjoy watching beginners on the Web, including myself, fully describe the basics of learning to crawl on the Web and grow into Web junkies and gurus (junkie I am, guru I intend to be...). I put bits and pieces of our learning on my Web pages so that others can follow our progress at their leisure (and we have something to refer back to).
... I would like us all to keep track of who has questions that the list is still working on answering. In other words, I would like to be sure that all questions at the level of the list as a whole (beginners' and intermediate questions at this time) are answered quite thoroughly. It's a conversation involving many people at many levels of experience in many things. I want us all to be sure that beginners and intermediate Lynx users are quite clear about the wonderful uses of Lynx and the Web. Naturally, we, beginners and advanced users, might say things that are confusing at first, but the idea is to be certain that the confusion gets resolved over time. I'm not worried about how much time. As far as I'm concerned, the list could develop overnight (so to speak) or take years. I'm intensely eager to be sure that everybody in the world has Web access, but I have learned that my intensity far overbalances most of the world's desires to follow my particular paths. So let's take as much time as we each need to be certain that all beginners on the list understand what this crazy stuff is all about.

NABS-L, the National Alliance of Blind Students' Symposium, is an open-forum discussion list designed to facilitate dialogue among blind/visually-impaired students regarding relevant issues and topics of interest. Examples of topics appropriate for this list include, but are not limited to: educational equity and equality for the blind, employment issues and opportunities, the use of computers and other assistive technology, accessibility issues, discrimination, advocacy, working with readers, dealing with campus offices of Disabled Student Services, breaking down prejudice and stereotypes of blindness, maintaining and fostering independence, and exchanging ideas and personal experience stories of blindness. It is hoped that this list will enable blind students to make the most of their college experiences, and will encourage their full and equal participation in society.
This list will also serve as a forum for disseminating and discussing issues specifically related to NABS, the National Alliance of Blind Students, which is an affiliate of the The American Council of the Blind (ACB). However, all blind students are encouraged to join; list participants need not be members of NABS or ACB.
While NABS-L is primarily intended for blind and visually-impaired students, other interested persons may also take part, provided these individuals are committed to independence and equality for the blind, and provided this list does not lose its student-oriented focus.

NFB-BPJ is the first discussion list for blind journalists. It is an informal gathering place for people who want to ask questions and exchange ideas on how blind people succeed in journalism. Working journalists or those who expect to write on deadline for a living are welcome. The group will include writers employed at newspapers, magazines, TV, or public affiars departments.
Students who wish to pursue a career in journalism and former journalists, who have become blind, and who wish to acquire effective alternative techniques for working in the highly-competitive arena of journalism, are also welcome. There will probably be little of interest on this list for poets or novelists.
NFB-BPJ is an outgrowth of The Blind Professional Journalists Group, which was formed in July 1996, in Anaheim, California, during the National Federation of the Blind's annual convention. Among its founding members are students, reporters, editors and the former dean of the journalism department at Arizona State University.
The expected topics of discussion include, but are not limited to:
NFB-BPJ may expand to include discussions far more diverse than these, but in order for the list to fulfill its purpose, it is important that subject matter be confined to those issues directly relating to journalism by the blind and to the techniques utilized by blind journalists.

PROGRAM-L is a highly specialized emailing list, intended to serve as a conduit through which blind and visually impaired programmers can exchange ideas, strategies, and advice. The purpose of PROGRAM-L is:
PROGRAM-L will be totally unmoderated unless it degenerates into vitriol and anarchy! You are, however, implored to become familiar with your mail reader so that:
It should be obvious why the subject header format is important but just to spell it out, it will aid sorting and the reliable use of the delete key.
Whilst it is expected that the majority of people will be using either VB, VC++, VJ++ or Delphi, the list is not restricted to only these although any additional ones should have a strong visual content; ie it is not the purpose of the list to be interested in DOS-based environments.
Although some of these rules may seem a little authoritarian, the aim is to keep the list in focus and usable, with the help, courtesy and foresight of its subscribers. So, if you have an interest in or are actively involved in GUI application development, please join and see what happens; even if you don't find it of use to yourself, you may be able to help someone else who is struggling keep a job.
