I was in contact with the USABLE Project folks before and it seems like a cool opportunity to get design work done and get paid. If anyone is up for it please check the website out.
Also please spread the word, the call is open until end of September!
@jan you can post something if you have some projects in mind. I am doing some of my own research as well. My research revolves building an accessible theme for the colour blind, what do you think?
