I care enough about the project and the co-op that I work for does give to software communities, but I won't ask the co-op to donate our sysadmins' time to "open source" (see my previous mail about this being exclusive and divisive, like trying to call all of Christianity by the name "Lutheranism"). So I'll spend the occasional minute writing emails to try to point your workers in the right direction, but if you want access to our workers, you need to open up and be more inclusive to co-operatively-developed and free software views. It's not about whether anyone cares enough. It's about whether those who currently have the permissions have the capacity and ability. However, whoever the workers are, discriminating against people with disabilities is wrong. Everyone has the right to education. I would prefer to see a project die in a hail of spam and incapacity than become a physically-able-supremacist project. YMMV.
