Contact and Support Information

Last updated April 25, 2025
These are the various ways to reach me and/or obtain news of and assistance with
my projects.
I place announcement information first, followed by ways of contacting me for project support.

Where To Find Project and Update Announcements
Primary Announcement Channels (Telegram, Discord, Twitter/X, this website)
Announcements for my project updates go out to the following platforms.
Each of these will include all project announcements, as well as occasional public service announcements (PSA)
related to my expected followers, unless otherwise indicated.
Telegram
Announcements appear in the Telegram dlee_code channel at
https://t.me/dlee_code.
This channel can also be viewed without joining from
https://t.me/s/dlee_code
(this is the same as pressing Preview on the above page).
Discord
Announcements appear in the announcements channel on my
Discord community server, first advertised in October, 2023.
This channel is also "followed" by other Discord servers that wish to include my announcements in their own channels.
I continue to post update announcements to @dlee_code on Twitter (now called X).
At this writing, these announcements are also usually reposted to my personal X account, doug_lee42;
but this should not be relied upon.
These announcements are copies of my Telegram announcements but are no longer also links to them as they once were.
This Website, and Tricks For Reaching Specific Pages
The main page of this website,
https://www.dlee.org/,
lists my public projects and is thus a way to detect new ones, though perhaps not so efficiently. For
newcomers though, it is a good way to see if I host anything of interest.
If you know (or grabbed from an announcement or my main page) the base URL for a particular project, adding a
hash mark (#) and "hist" to that URL will reach the "Revision History" section of that project's
documentation; for example, given https://www.dlee.org/bx, https://www.dlee.org/bx#hist will go to BX's
revision history.
Other Alternatives (mailing lists, software update support)
Unsupported Platforms
There is no update announcement support on the following platforms, but they are listed because they are
occasionally mentioned or suggested:
- Mastodon: Though a popular Twitter alternative at this writing, Mastodon has a structure very different than
Twitter's. At this time, there is no Mastodon handle or instance dedicated to providing my project updates.
If this changes, this document will be updated accordingly.
- RSS: There is no RSS support at this time, but that might be undertaken if there is sufficient interest.
For specific projects and inquiry areas:
Business Inquiries
I do JAWS scripting and small software development projects professionally. Inquiries and support requests for
these may be directed to the email address you get by putting "info," an at sign, and the normal writing of
"dlee dot software" together. (I use this funny way to give out the address to avoid bot harvesting.)
BX Support
Because BX is primarily for JAWS scripters,
the preferred avenue for support for that project is often the
JAWSScripts mailing list.
Teams and Skype JAWS Script Support
I follow and can respond to support requests for Teams and Skype
on the SkypeEnglish Mailing List.
The general support avenues are also appropriate for these projects.
Note that Microsoft is shutting down Skype in May, 2025, but many users are migrating their Skype accounts
into Microsoft Teams.
Support For Project Translators
As of April, 2025, I have a Teams group where I announce and support some of my projects, mostly for
translators of those projects into other languages. This group is the Teams migration of the Skype group
started in October, 2023, for the same purpose.
As of this writing, this group is small and requires me to add people on request.
If you are translating any of my projects into another language and can use Teams,
contact me to let me know how to add you to this group.
Note: Not all project announcements made in other places are also made in this Teams group;
only those that seem of interest to active translators at the time of the announcement.
General support avenues, when none of the above apply:
Telegram
I have a
Telegram channel at https://t.me/dlee_code devoted to project update announcements.
Feel free to join this channel via that link to see my project update announcements and related posts.
There is also a
linked Telegram
group for project-related discussion and feedback,
which you can reach from that link or from a button on the channel's screen in Telegram clients.
If you don't have Telegram or a Telegram account, you can still
view my channel posts at https://t.me/s/dlee_code without joining.
This channel-and-group pair are preferred over Twitter/X as a means of project-related communication.
Discord
First advertised in October, 2023, I have a
Discord community server
for announcing project updates and providing support for projects.
This server is intended to complement, not replace, my Telegram channel and discussion group.
I offer this in case more blind people use Discord than Telegram.
Besides the obligatory channels required for Discord community servers, of course including the channel for
server rules,
the server includes a general project discussion channel as well as an announcements channel. The
announcements channel is where I will announce project updates. This channel may be "followed" by other Discord
servers; this causes the announcements to duplicate into chosen channels on those servers.
Use dlee_code for script and other project support
questions and to see announcements about updates and new releases.
(These announcements duplicate messages I send to the Telegram project support channel.)
Note that I am not good at following everyone who follows me on this platform.
Email
You can arrive at my personal email address by
putting "projects," an at sign, and the normal writing of
"dlee dot org" together. (I use this funny way to give out the address to avoid bot harvesting, as I did in
the Business Inquiries section.)
