- Understand how Wikipedia can be used (or modified) to suit people with some level/degree of disability (especially the visually impaired people). We finally managed to figure it out by copy pasting the article content into Google Translate and click on the speaker icon so that it will read it out to the user. However, it will be better if any visually-impaired people can search article by using voice input only, and with one click can let the article read for itself.
- Gathering all the facts and info which lead to the creation of Disability in Malaysia article.
