First of all, well done for getting this far.

My comments on the article:
- The philosophy section is largely unsourced and will almost certainly be 
challenged as it is your personal opinion.
- for the same reasons, I'd also cut down on the accessibility stuff as,
even between the users on this list, we could have a long and no doubt interesting discussion
about why people use edbrowse, and the direction that accessibility should take.
- Also, probably remove the link to Jupiter as it's very obscure.
If you want to link to something like that I'd probably go for speakup (which
is in the Linux kernel module tree now), brltty or yasr,
as these are far more widely used.
- you probably want to focus more on the technical and feature aspects of
edbrowse and less on user opinions etc.
- should there be a reference to ed when talking about it?
- remember that, although putting an article on wikipedia may make some people
aware of the software, wikipedia's supposed to be primarily an information
source, not a promotional platform.

Cheers,
Adam.
