[Techtalk] Want to add accessibility to open-source project

As part of my master's degree, I have to do a project involving 
computers and accessibility, in particular for blind people. Rather than 
writing a report that will go into some file cabinet and never see the 
light of day again, I would like to contribute to the accessibility of 
an open-source project.

I'm looking for suggestions as to which open-source project I should 
choose. I know what Freshmeat is, but I have some criteria that are 
difficult to search for using a computer:
1) The program must have a web interface.
2) The program must have a French-language interface available.
3) I'm not interested in projects where the designers are already 
accessibility fanatics, because there would be nothing for me to do.
4) I'm open even to programs that a blind person probably wouldn't use, 
such as a photo organizer.
5) If you happen to be involved in the project (and can help integrate 
me into the development community), that's a big plus.

If you know of such a project, please let me know - quickly!
