I was renewing a library book, and noted this:
http://www.act.gov.au/actinfo/library/digitaldivide/

The interesting part is the accessibility stuff (see 
http://www.utoronto.ca/atrc/rd/smartcard/index.html). The troubling part is 
that we are tying the most vulnerable in our community to a system that they 
are unlikely to afford themselves (aka Windows Tax).

Nothing in the package looks particularly windows-specific, and I began to 
wonder about how CLUG/AUUG/LinuxAustralia could get involved. Maybe 
sponsoring some student projects? Anyone worked with this sort of stuff 
before? Anyone across the ACT library stuff - can we get a speaker in?
