[Irl-dean] Happy New Year

[Paul Walsh, Segala]

Thanks Hugh.

I gave a demo of a Firefox extension [1] instead of presenting slides. It's
currently a proof of concept with lots more functionality on the way. We
intend to deliver a new build each month. We could have released a full
browser with lots of cool stuff but thought it was better to take it slowly
and solicit feedback throughout the process. 

In short, the extension highlights search results that contain Web sites
claiming to be accessible. So, it's possible to see which sites are
accessible (or at least claim to be) before entering them. 

The extension will be up on the Mozilla labs Web site soon. It's trustworthy
and reliable software as it's built by our partner company that's owned by a
very good friend of mine. Glaxstar maintain the Mozilla community Web site
and they're responsible for the build of official extensions for companies
such as Google, PayPal and Yahoo!

Please feel free to keep an eye on the site for updates. Feel free to
suggest improvements too. FYI Microsoft have offered to pay us to build an
IE plugin after seeing a demo of the extension.
