For the open source culture, my general opinion is that the 
accessibility community is very small with very few resources.  This 
leaves more room for cooperation than competition, and the culture is 
one of being open and sharing.  I also have a strong desire that time 
spent helping someone will result in positive payback to the 
accessibility community.  That's the culture that makes people help you 
for free.
So, my question to you is more of getting to when and how your work will 
contribute back to the open source accessibility community so it can 
continue to grow and help other people like you become part of it.
In addition, as the de facto lead for the GNOME accessibility project, I 
would also benefit by knowing what you're doing to figure out how it 
fits in with the overall scheme for GNOME accessibility.
