Re: Where is w3c stuff too hard..

Hi Lisa,

What about setting up a new wiki page from
https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/wiki/Main_Page?

I know at one time there was a bit of a learning curve for some (new)
members of the different TF's on how to use that tool, but presumably that
curve has now flattened. (Needs to test assumption)

Since the goal (as I understand it) is to gather data and feedback to bring
forward to a larger "W3C" distribution and a final 'publishing' TBD, it
strikes me as a simple and easy first step.

Thoughts?

JF
