Everett,
 
At least you're still working on it.  If it were abandoned, it could become
a very misleading domain.

First, what's the difference between JAWSScripts.com and
wiki.JAWSScripts.com?  if you tried to separate out jaws versus scripting,
why? Isn't one wiki more centralized?

I'd be happy to contribute in any way I can, what are you trying to provide?

If the answer is links to as many scripts as possible - a good idea, I
think.  Some scripts have no home pages anymore and are just floating
around, if you've got the space you could host them unless author's care to
take credit and do so themselves.  There are also scripts which do have
pages and I suppose linking to them is worthwhile.  Just say what you'd like
done and I'm sure several people here would be willing to help?

Sean.

Good evening,

Thanks for your questions.

I administer the JAWSScripts.com and wiki.JAWSScripts.com resources.   
To be honest, I have paid very little attention to them recently.

I would be happy to consider suggestions on how to improve the  
resources to make them as useful as possible, I have just had very  
little time to do anything with them recently.

Thanks,
Everett
