Re: [orca-list] Free software contributions

Howdy,

this is is showing in a good way that nobody is knowing who is working 
and on what is she/he working. This makes collaboration very hard and 
also its frustrating for everybody in same time because there is no 
collaboration or feedback.
that was the initial idea of the linux-a11y.org project and the 
mumble/irc infra but its sadly not as much used as it should be. i think 
more working together would improve the motivation and the success of 
all projects.  think we need to wire up a good team with helping each 
other. for sure there would be more contribution if there would be a way 
to get knowledge and feedback more easy. everybody is cooking in its 
small kitchen and wonders why nobody tasts the food or come in to help 
cutting onions.
i read a lot of names again and again. fore sure an a11y team could be 
formed and would have an more great success.


just my 2 cents.

cheers chrys
