[actf-dev] Outreach
As we discussed in this meeting, I think for outreach purposes it would be good to publicise ACTF releases possibly in the following mailing lists: 

* WAI Interest Group (<w3c-wai-ig@xxxxxx>);
* Mozilla Developers mailing list (<dev- accessibility@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>); * BCAB (British Computer Association of the Blind Web) mailing list (<bcab@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>); * Google Accessibility Group (<http://groups.google.com.au/group/ alt.comp.accessibility/topics>); 
* WebAIM mailing list (<webaim-forum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>);
* British Computer Society HCI mailing list <http://www.bcs- hci.org.uk/mailinglist>
These academic conferences would also be good to target, possibly organise workshops/tutorials, etc: 
ASSETS (e.g., 2008- <http://www.sigaccess.org/assets08/>)
W4A (e.g., 2009- <http://www.w4a.info/>)
ICCHP (e.g, 2009- <www.icchp.org>)
We can also target newsletters where usually informal articles are published which include: * SIGACCESS newsletter (<http://www.sigaccess.org/newsletter/ index.php>); 
* WEBAIM newsletter (<http://www.webaim.org/newsletter/>)

Regards,
Yeliz.
