Re: I need letters of support for Neil Soiffer

I'm from Spain, but if Neils is the author of the MatCat add-on for
NVDA, I'd like to say thanks to this developer for the efforz done
with a free screen reader consulting to users.
Unfortunately, I don't know useful MatML publications in Spanish, so I
haven't explorer this add-on, but my impression is that this person
should be awarded. Not everybody takes the work to consult about
practices or preferences of users. Some people, many of them sighted,
think that they know what to do about accessibility to give a good
external image, or thinking that they haveto help  blind people
without their opinion.
So thanksso much, and congrats George for your proposal.
Best
