This is a good place.  Another place is the GNOME Accessibility development
list: <gnome-accessibility-devel gnome org>.  In the GNOME world, there are
typically two mailing lists for any given topic: the "-devel" mailing list
is for folks creating a given technology, and the "-list" mailing list is
for the folks using a given technology.  Thus someone who is using the
"GTK+" library to write applications would be interested in the 'gtk-devel'
mailing list.

You'll probably want to connect with the developers/maintainers of
Gnopernicus at BAUM (who are on that mailing list), including: Draghi
Puterity <mp baum de> and Adi Drascal <ad baum ro>.  Looking at the source
code (see /cvs/gnome/gnopernicus/braille/libbrl in cvs.gnome.org), Adi is
the author of virtually all of the Gnopernicus Braille support.
