I have no idea what you're asking for here... The newsgroups are already listed at the bottom of https://www.mozilla.org/access/.

Comment 2

[David Weir (satdav)]

yes but the main accessibility one is not

Comment 3

[Chris Ilias [:cilias]]

I can add this, but it would be helpful to know: what is the difference between mozilla.accessibility and the other two forums? What is it's purpose?

Comment 4

[David Weir (satdav)]

the difference is the Mozilla Mailing list accessibility is for everything other than support or dev

it was setup to promote the accessibility project in a whole, like to see for websites and that

Comment 5

[David Weir (satdav)]

websites relating to mozilla

Comment 6

[David Bolter [:davidb] (NeedInfo me for attention)]

Please note:

1. dev-accessibility is no longer for user support, it is only for technical discussion.
2. dev-accessibility may go away one day, since we should use dev-platform for technical discussion.
3. [e-mail] is wide open for a11y discussion including as satdav mentions, website a11y.

Comment 7

[Chris Ilias [:cilias]]

* What do I put on the page as the purpose?
* Should we remove the mozilla.dev.accessibility listing?

Comment 8

[David Bolter [:davidb] (NeedInfo me for attention)]

I really think we need to hear from Ken who is organizing content for our accessibility web pages.

It's been two weeks. Ken, you there?

Satdav, by marking this bug as "depends on" bug 721518, you're saying that we have to wait until bug 721518 is marked as fixed until we can fix this bug. You sure that's the case? Bug 721518 is tracking bug, and typically tracking bugs depend on the bugs they track.

Comment 11

[David Weir (satdav)]

the bug I marked this as is a tracking bug for our reference

Comment 12

[Chris Ilias [:cilias]]

I don't think we're going to hear from Ken on this. Is there someone else to defer this to?

I apologize for my absence.

In addition to what David said, dev-accessibility has very low activity (last legitimate post was March 29 and it was about marketplace), and we are moving away from it.
I don't see any reason to keep it listed at lists.mozilla.org and continuing to send people there for the reasons above and because we want the focus to be on mozilla.accessibility.

Can we also change the description for accessibility at lists.mozilla.org from "Build the web for everyone." to "Mozilla/Web accessibility topics" or something similar?
