Great. I can see and I need to use my imagination to figure what a _real
good_ interface for visually imapaired people looks like. Better to have
people who really know from first hand experience what to look out for.

This said I think the interface should also be better accessible for deaf
people. I've learned deaf people experience problems with complex sentences.
We should consider that too and other aspects.

Please post your feature requests even if we find out they are duplicates.

You are more than welcome to help. As far as I know MM3 development has taken
place mostly in sprints at Pycons in 2009 and 2010 (I don't recall everybodys
name right now) and after these events almost solely by Barry and Florian.

For this summer (of code) Anna has joined the team and I believe if Barry
manages to do more work on the REST server and IMAP backend - *HINT* *HINT* -
we will soon be able to present an early version of MM3 to test and play with
while we bring it to a stable state.
