HI Olle

I am sure most of us will agree -  thing is that our 'users' must move
within political constraints and its the politics that prevents
cooperation (more than the technology at times)

therefore we should design accordingly  - if we simply  'avoid
acknowledging' the issue,
we may produce something that is not easily usable from that viewpoint

 How do you think such 'awareness'  and 'neutrality' should be
reflected in our work?
