Hi :)
This is exactly why i think the Accessibility Team really needs a "Community Development" person to 
be employed either directly by TDF or by one of the supporter organisations and then loaned to TDF. 
 Part-time, even just 2 days a week would be a huge boost.  

We need more people in this team and need them to be more active.  At the moment it feels like it's 
only due to Stuart that anyone is doing anything and most of that work seems to be being done 
directly by him.  I think that if the post was created then it would be good to give Stuart an 
interview for the position.  
Regards from
Tom :)

Hi :)
I wondered if anyone here is interested in putting forwards ideas for where money should be 
targeted to improve accessibility.  No-one on this list backed my ideas so i couldn't put them 
forwards.  Is everyone happy with accessibility in LibreOffice?  Is it all working perfectly all 
the time?

Regards from
Tom :)


Be aware that Florian has stated that a funding suggestion needs to be backed by someone who will 
assume leadership/responsibility for any request from start to end. IMO, there should also be a 
clear accessibility team, which could just be 2-3 people who make it a point to advance 
accessibility issues.

For example, you could have accessibility bugs sent to this list and help QA with bug quashing -- 
some of this is easy to do such as "confirming" that the bugs do happen on other people's boxes 
and OS's OR helping test out possible fixes to the bugs etc. We do this with the Website list and 
it has been quite the success.

Sometimes when people see positive movement in a group it will inspire others to follow and to 
help out.

As you know accessibility is quite important in getting LibreOffice accepted in large 
institutional settings (educational/governments etc.). I am sure that the TDF would be interested 
in getting proposals from the accessibility team and helping out.

Cheers,

Marc
