Subject: FDAWG Mailing List Started
Dear All,
One of the main resolutions of the Linux
Accessibility Conference was to start a mailing list
on which we could hash out some of the technical and
logistical details we broached on March 22-23. We
also resolved that we could use this list to plan how
we could become a more legitimate and effective group
of free desktop accessibility advocates and
developers.
Well, good news, the list and web site are here:
http://www.speechinfo.org/fdawg/
[Graciously hosted by Alan W Black; don't worry,
there is more content to come in the future.]
FDAWG stands for Free Desktop Accessibility Working
Group. We are officially supported by FreeDesktop.org
(home of the X Desktop Group) and the Trace R&D
Center, UW Madison, Madison, WI. FreeDesktop.org will
also publish our selected recommendations and papers
if we wish.
Although it is probably redundant to mention
this, as it is on the web site and is implied by the
group's name, the FDAWG mailing list will be home for
discussion on the accessibility of free desktops,
primarily Linux, although recommendations for and
discussions about non-free desktops are not
discouraged.
Basic subscription information:
