Re: An invitation from the W3C WAI-Adapt Task Force

My thoughts on this subject:  I’d love for it to work. There’s a clear roadmap. If you’re serious about it, make it happen.

More detail on the roadmap, and some tough love, since it seems like we’ve had the same conversation 6 years in a row now.

Once the topic time slot is scheduled, I will see if I can attend remotely.
