Hi, I wasn't sure where to post this on the meta-wiki. I have something for your publicity file: I wrote a guest post on the Intute blog yesterday which gives a positive view of WP's policies. Intute is a publicly-funded internet portal for UK academics.

Cheers,
This is interesting.

This seems to be something worth looking into. My sister goes to a special school, and I can vouch for the usefulness of these symbols when on printed media. I have never seen it used online though.
This seems to be a good list to post it to: it's UK based, and would need meatsphere links. Could someone post this to other lists if required; I don't follow very many.

Not open source so no. Wikimedia only deploys open source software and this is not a principle I would wish to see it compromise on.

As Geni says, it would need to be open source to be installed on Wikimedia sites. I don't see why it would want to be installed on a website, though - it should be installed as an add-on to a web browser. That way only people that want it have it and they have it on every website they access.
