In case of my project this was included and is still not published (sorry!).

Main problem is that things are taking longer than expected so as result
- I run out of time covered by microgrant looong time ago
- other involved people answer much slower and with larger delays than expected

So as result material is still not published.
I am continuing to work on it, recently I submitted next version of tactile map design
after new round of tweaks and wait again for replies.

BTW, my project was marked in green as successfull (tactile maps...)
despite that it is delayed and not fully done. Not sure how many other projects
are also evaluated in such optimistic way.

Good idea, but I want to note that it takes far larger effort than I expected.
(as usual with any bigger project)
