We are seeing increased interest by developers to ensure their software is a11y-compliant. The problem is oftentimes, they come into our IRC channel with the question "HI, I'd like to do this with my app, how do I get started?" But, understandably, the channel isn't highly active during non-meeting times.
I do my best to try to ping people on the nicklist and link them up to this wonderfully ambitious folks, but it is always a hit-and-miss. As an example, Jason Smith of GNOME-DO fame came in about 1/2 hour after last night's meeting ready to jump in with his efforts to a11y-itize GNOME-DO. He was planning to spend the night working on it, but sadly we couldn't connect the right people to him. I'd like to see if maybe one of you could write a good documentation to put on the wiki, so I can at least point them to relevant information. (We should put this in the /topic of the channel as well.) We need to get information to them quickly while the fire is still hot in their hearts. -- Bryen Yunashko _______________________________________________ gnome-accessibility-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-accessibility-list
