Hi Philip, on IRC, you asked an interesting question: http://krijnhoetmer.nl/irc-logs/whatwg/20080411#l-132 [02:04] <Philip`> How do people with hearing disabilities attend W3C telcons? hearing disabilities and non native speakers who have difficulties to understand the different accents (For example, a british accent can be very challenging). The answer is live scribing on IRC. It is not perfect but it helps a lot to understand what is going on and have contexts or fills the holes for non native speakers. Then when it seems incomplete or not understandable reading what the scribe has typed, you can ask for clarifications, or someone will add a comment. Dual input, Voice + Text, is really one of the cool features of W3C teleconferences. -- Karl Dubost - W3C http://www.w3.org/QA/ Be Strict To Be Cool
