Awesome! And your timing couldn't be better. A number of us have been
lamenting the current state of our docs. It's even on our roadmap [1].
And after a chat with Piñeiro the other day, I added the issue to the
agenda for our next meeting [2]. Because we have had at least one other
inquiry from prospective Women's Outreach candidates, I have just added
the program to our agenda as well. Are you available at 14:30 UTC
Thursday?

Yes, I'm available. :-)

You are preaching to the proverbial choir. :-)

Thank you so much for your interest! We look forward to chatting more
with you at the meeting, if you are available, and also in #a11y (on
irc.gnome.org) where we typically hang out.

Take care!
