Details

There is a main contributors group, online, that is simply named 'Mozilla Contributor' that David Weir created that I help admin.  However, I had created a secondary group for contributors-a group just for those with disabilities so that those with disabilities can have a place to met to discuss about concernes they have that come up as they contribute with disabilities.  I would like there to be a mailing list forum created for contributors with disabilities, as well.  I am creator and admin of that group, but I don't host it on Facebook, too, just on IRC, for now.  I want to expand that, though, but only for it being through a mailing list (and through a separate mailing list than the mailing list recently granted the main contributors group 'Mozilla Contributors.'  I would like it to be there so that those contributors with disabilities can have a place to go to feel comfortable voicing/saying their concernes, their questions, or their ideas about contributing with disabilities, and the unique challenges that can come up out of contributing with disabilities.

No, because I didn't know that.  But, I had been in contact in the past with a woman Mozillian who posted in the Comminuty Building mailing list forum some momnths, ago, about my group for disabled.  She liked that idea as did Larissa, I think.  Glad you added David Bolter to this bug.

I took your form you linked, and I filed it out and I added you to it, as well, just so you knew I filed in the, "right place" for this.  :)
