Would an automated category Images without alt text be feasible?

There are some things that we could and in my view should be doing to
make our sites more open to people with disabilities. Colour schemes
in templates maps and so forth should be designed to give contrast
that works for various forms of colour blindness, and there are still
lots of images in wikipedia that need alt text for people using text
readers.

How about a pen that you can use to *edit* Wikipedia? No, wait, that
takes longer than typing doesn't it?
I'm waiting for the app that let's you edit Wikipedia just by
*thinking* (or indeed any application that you can use just by
thinking - some are sort of available already for paraplegics, but the
technology is still in its infancy).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain%E2%80%93computer_interface
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human-computer_interaction
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroprosthetics
None of those seem to cover eyeball movement technology.
This does, but not the application to paraplegics:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_tracking
Here's an interesting page (and an interesting wiki site as well):
http://abilitynet.wetpaint.com/page/Eye+Pointing
The closest I could get to anything similar on Wikipedia was one line here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assistive_technology
But I'm probably searching using the wrong terms.
