So how do we do this? Not just to ensure strong a11y advocacy on the release team, but in other areas of GNOME. People may feel they don't want to participate on a particular team (release team?) because they don't have the technical qualifications and/or simply don't want to sign on to yet another mailing list when their mailboxes are already overloaded. (I've got over 12,000 unread messages in my 'mailing list' account.) Do we educate those in the a11y community to be more technically proficient to participate in these teams? Do we educate the teams to look to the a11y team more? How do we find middle ground? We definitely need to do more to publicize our own actions and issues to a broader community and that's something I'm looking at seriously these days as I gear up for the upcoming CSUN conference and think about ways that will sustain news delivery from our team long after CSUN. To make it a more integral part of our daily activities. I don't think we have an answer just yet for an overnight solution, but the answer definitely must include, as Willie says, more advocacy and awareness of A11y across the board. "Baked in, not bolted on" Willie also says and I absolutely love that concept.
