Be aware that Florian has stated that a funding suggestion needs to be 
backed by someone who will assume leadership/responsibility for any 
request from start to end. IMO, there should also be a clear 
accessibility team, which could just be 2-3 people who make it a point 
to advance accessibility issues.

For example, you could have accessibility bugs sent to this list and 
help QA with bug quashing -- some of this is easy to do such as 
"confirming" that the bugs do happen on other people's boxes and OS's OR 
helping test out possible fixes to the bugs etc. We do this with the 
Website list and it has been quite the success.

Sometimes when people see positive movement in a group it will inspire 
others to follow and to help out.

As you know accessibility is quite important in getting LibreOffice 
accepted in large institutional settings (educational/governments etc.). 
I am sure that the TDF would be interested in getting proposals from the 
accessibility team and helping out.

Cheers,

Marc
