Re: KR in sanskrit - summer read

ah, thank you Joshue

Yes, there may have been truly developed ancient civilizations. not just in
the knowledge/wisdom sphere
but also in the engineering. Vimana and other developed tech may have
existed too, given ample evidence. So, a few thousands years ago there may
have been primitive folks around, but thats not the whole story.

I am seeking synergy between our CG and other W3C efforts, because  KR and
AI
are becoming important across the board

We may be interested in exploring the KR for accessibility, answering
questions such as:
How can KR help websites more accessible?
How can AI and KR help accessibility?

So lets keep our minds open and set some intention in that direction
