If so, let me know. If not, I will customize the message below for the Low Vision TF/CG, which could really use a dedicated technical editor and scribe, since I have been unable to clone myself and I'm a useless scribe. I welcome any comments on the draft below. Thanks, ~Shawn ------- Hello, We are looking for volunteer technical writers and editors for short and long projects. The part-time work is flexible and requires at least 4 hours/week. We especially welcome volunteers from diverse backgrounds, including those who would benefit from having examples of their work publicly-visible on the W3C website. Background: W3C Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) develops strategies, standards, and supporting resources to make the Web accessible to people with disabilities. For example: * Personalization Overview https://www.w3.org/WAI/personalization/ * Making Audio and Video Media Accessible https://www.w3.org/WAI/media/av/ * many more listed at https://www.w3.org/WAI/resources/ W3C WAI provides a structure and process for developing the resources. Individuals and organizations participate to develop the resources. We have several groups that have technical and/or user experience participation, and could use technical writing skills to help edit their drafts. Many of those projects are listed in: What We're Working On - Accessibility Activities and Publications https://www.w3.org/WAI/update/ If you might be interested in contributing your technical editing skills, please send e-mail to: shawn@w3.org and cc: team-wai-projects@w3.org (W3C-staff-only). Start the e-mail subject line with “[Volunteer] Technical Editing”. Include: * Brief info on your experience and/or education * Your availability, including when you can start and how many hours/week you can contribute * Link to information about you online, such as LinkedIn profile and/or personal bio page If you know of others who might be interested, please do forward this information to them. Thanks much! ~Shawn Lawton Henry, W3C Accessibility Education and Outreach <http://www.w3.org/People/Shawn/>
