Hi, Very happy with knowing the group exists and will progress. Welcome to you! Personally I am very intetested in these matters as I think free software is so much technical-focus, and not user enough. The result is that our ethical is not growing up. There are technical things to fix sure, but especially a political message to promote and which is not understandable enough today. I think social contract in Debian gives means to promote free software as a universal way to do computer, provided computer is accessible regardless physical disability; and to reach everyone, computing needs to be supported by hyman sciences (so any techno should be provided with, if needed, easy ways to be supported by someone, physically or remotely. Hence some questions: 1. Should not Welcope team have a mailing list? IRC is mainly used by geeks today 2. Should not Debian have an official Facebook group, to reach another kind of users? Idem for other social networks.
