I'm not saying that. The current work should be advertised indeed.

That's the problem here: a vast migration like the one at stake here is
a bit harsh for people, I can understand their unwillingness. Hopefully
there will be a long migration delay.

Most of these people just said "no", few people said "I'm ready to
cooperate".  Maybe what just needs be done here is to explain what "free
software" means: they can subscribe to gnome-accessibility-list and
express their needs.

needs to take place here before talking with these people)
