Re: GNOME Accessibility Team Meeting @ Boston Summit?

[Bill Haneman <Bill Haneman Sun COM>]

It's really great to have such broad interest in Accessibility at the
Summit.  I'd love to include the lab visit.

I think it should be on a separate day, however, since it could take a
lot of time and lead to rather wide-ranging discussions.  Looks like our
"one day" is already getting pretty full.

regards,

Bill
