Well, we finally had the meeting, and a few things were decided.

1) We will concentrate our efforts in the "colorblind" activity.  We believe 
that this will bring many benefits to Gcompris while enabling colorblind 
people to use the program.

2) We are investigating the right tools for this job, and already have one in 
mind:  libcolorblind, which was developed by a Brazilian.  This library is 
used by gnome-mag, a program that magnifies the screen for people with 
problems in the vision.  We don't know if we are going to be able to extend 
Gcompris in order to use this library, but at least we have something to 
investigate for now.

3) After we found gnome-mag, another idea came into our minds:  what if we 
adapted Gcompris in order to use it?  gnome-mag provides a library as well, so 
(we think) it shouldn't be hard to integrate it with Gcompris.  Anyway, this 
is just another idea which we don't know if is going to be used, but I thought 
it would be good to mention it here.

Well, I believe that's what we got for now.  I will let you know when we make 
other progress.

Thank you,

Sérgio.
