No, Bill is speaking about a new screen magnifier my brother is writing as his 
diploma thesis. The new magnifier will contain a new X.org composition 
manager and support more features for partially sighted people than all 
existing screen magnifiers (including Lunar and ZoomText). The current plan 
does include braille support or full screen reading support (which are not 
needed by partially sighted people).

Gunnar's application will be available open-source, but I think he wishes to 
finish it first, which might take some more months. I am cc'ing him, so you 
can contact him for questions.
