Content Usable Finding people to include

Hello,

We decided to move the conversation around expanding a bit on the first
paragraph of Finding people to include
<https://raw.githack.com/w3c/coga/consistency_checks/content-usable/index.html#finding-people-to-include>to
the list.  Detlev had suggested providing a bit more framing of the first
sentence. The current paragraph states:

Finding people to include in usability testing who have different cognitive
and learning disabilities can be achievable, even for small groups on a low

easy and convenient resource. Small development groups can achieve a large
improvement by asking people who they know, such as friends, colleagues,
relatives or neighbors. Try to build a group of users who:


Discussion today suggested statements such as:

   -  "If your organization already tests websites with users, this section
   aims to expand that activity to include people with cognitive and learning
   disabilities."
   - "For each objective, many organizations can add user testing including
   individuals with a range of cognitive and learning disabilities into their
   user testing plan."
   - Clarifying formal and informal testing


I suggest the following as a starting point though we can begin with the
current text if preferred:

If your organization already tests with users, this section aims to expand
that activity to include people with cognitive and learning disabilities.
If your organization does not yet test with users, you can find information
to get started including users with disabilities at Involving Users in
Evaluating Web Accessibility
<https://www.w3.org/WAI/test-evaluate/involving-users/> and on our developer
resource page
<https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/task-forces/coga/wiki/Developer_resources>.
