Accessibility Camp Seattle is dedicated to the simple premise that “digital inclusion” is fundamental to our digital age. Much as disability advocacy has transformed our physical world we now must look critically at how we are building the digital world so that it welcomes and empowers everyone. We will bring together the thinkers, the coders, the students, the teachers, the visionaries, the pragmatists, the designers, the writers, the readers, the dreamers and you to actively engage on this critical topic. This event embodies the “nothing about us, without us” rallying cry from the disability rights movement.

| a11yconf | Now doing the close-up for #a11ysea. Lots of energy. | 2011-05-21T17:38:27-07:00 |
| a11yconf | So the 1st was a warm-up :) now they are now finding out how many flrs at the Crowne Plaza & hrs for Happy Hour at the Icon Grill. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T17:11:10-07:00 |
| a11yconf | This is definitely an interesting challenge for The Amazing Race. I'm going to pitch it to them. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T16:53:11-07:00 |
| a11yconf | In the screen reader death match we have screens off, & having folk find the price for a flt from SEA to CDG using their fave site #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T16:46:06-07:00 |
| a11yconf | Organizations like #IXDA #IGA need to have conversations on accessibility. These discussions need to happen there. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T16:01:22-07:00 |
| a11yconf | Room 1 is on break. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T15:58:31-07:00 |
| a11yconf | Two useful URLs for HTML5 and accessibility: http://www.quirksmode.org and http://www.html5accessibility.com #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T15:57:25-07:00 |
| a11yconf | Important to remember that during last call, all public comments must be addressed. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T15:51:43-07:00 |
| a11yconf | For commenting: pay particular attn to: text alternatives, new form elements/interactive controls, & integration b/w ARIA & html5. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T15:49:59-07:00 |
| a11yconf | One approach is to look at the documented bugs and issues to identify what item(s) need a push behind it. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T15:46:32-07:00 |
| a11yconf | What we need is a deliberate, concerted effort bringing focus to specific issues #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T15:44:53-07:00 |
| a11yconf | It is not too late! Make your accessibility feelings/concerns known during the #html5 last call comment period. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T15:42:39-07:00 |
| a11yconf | A sample accessible #HTML5 video implementation http://uw.edu/doit/video #a11ysea #accessibility | 2011-05-21T15:35:21-07:00 |
| a11yconf | Re touch-screen devices & support for HTML5, it is largely left to the device & whether its browser will understand the tags. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T15:27:46-07:00 |
| a11yconf | Uncertain about screen reader support for heading group. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T15:19:02-07:00 |
| a11yconf | Documents are currently being developed to explain how ARIA will interplay with the different APIs. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T15:16:36-07:00 |
| a11yconf | ARIA (accessible rich internet applications) is baked into HTML5 #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T15:14:36-07:00 |
| a11yconf | There are great things and controversial items currently in HTML5 accessibility. Last call public comment starts this week. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T15:13:24-07:00 |
| a11yconf | Cynthia Shelly is on deck giving us an update on HTML5 accessibility #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T15:10:36-07:00 |
| a11yconf | Did I mention there's an "after party" for those who stay until the end of #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T15:08:42-07:00 |
| a11yconf | Design is not art, it needs to be functional. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T14:33:19-07:00 |
| a11yconf | Make your product groups your best friend. Put accessibility into the requirements. Issue though will always be scheduling. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T13:54:25-07:00 |
| a11yconf | Designers want to do the right thing, but the clients need to want it. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T13:47:37-07:00 |
| a11yconf | In the agency world, Accessibility is not a priority for clients. Convincing them to put time & budget aside is the challenge. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T13:46:56-07:00 |
| a11yconf | .@brycej is declaring that accessibility is the responsibility of interaction design. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T13:35:50-07:00 |
| a11yconf | Now in the #design session at #a11ysea. It's standing room only. @brycej is holding court. | 2011-05-21T13:33:54-07:00 |
| a11yconf | If you stay until the end of #a11ysea, there is an after party. More to follow. | 2011-05-21T13:14:44-07:00 |
| a11yconf | Issues of #higher ed and tech accessibility is also a big theme. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T12:55:48-07:00 |
| a11yconf | Different from other accessibility unconferences/barcamps I've atded, the voice of folk w/ disabilities is very visible. Cool. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T12:54:19-07:00 |
| a11yconf | Once again, #a11ysea is setting the bar re food for lunch. These boxes are heavy. | 2011-05-21T12:51:56-07:00 |
| a11yconf | Designers are very data driven. They don't know how many users w/ disabilities are out there. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T12:25:50-07:00 |
| a11yconf | One way of pushing dev/designer ed is to look at an accreditation model that would encourage folk to learn about accessibility #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T12:19:52-07:00 |
| a11yconf | Anyone? via @brycej if the Library of Congress buys digital books from publishers do they need to comply with 508? #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T12:15:14-07:00 |
| a11yconf | So after I buy an iPhone, where can I find out about accessible apps? #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T12:04:21-07:00 |
| a11yconf | Some passionate conversation on where to best get Apple product accessibility info - web or in-store. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T12:03:02-07:00 |
| a11yconf | Remember folks emphasize conversation and not presentation says the real Godfather @brycej #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T10:49:39-07:00 |
| a11yconf | Unlike other accessibility barcamps/unconferences, topics have expanded to include the built environment, transit, among others #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T10:45:35-07:00 |
| a11yconf | Table-side w/ @brian_henderson @awoods @dylanw @chadleaman and @jfc3 #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T10:43:40-07:00 |

| ATtips | Excited about Accessibility Camp in Seattle starting tonight http://accessibilitycampseattle.org/blog/ #a11ysea | 2011-05-20T10:29:45-07:00 |

| brycej | Transcribing whiteboards from #a11ysea and resisting the urge to do any re-writes. | 2011-06-05T10:08:17-07:00 |
| brycej | I keep breaking the #a11ysea site. grrr. | 2011-05-23T23:42:54-07:00 |
| brycej | @jsutt Totally agree on 508 or ADA. I just hope a DPLA is run in a way that ensures it is accessibile. #a11y should be a tenet #a11ysea | 2011-05-23T15:25:32-07:00 |
| brycej | What Should a Digital Public Library of America Look Like? http://t.co/5ZT1frZ / @RWW - #a11ysea had this talk. It must be 508 compliant! | 2011-05-23T14:09:55-07:00 |
| brycej | @lovelyannac The gaming talk did focus on multimodal, about being inclusive & fun but not equivalant. Thx for keeping us in check. #a11ysea | 2011-05-22T21:02:55-07:00 |
| brycej | I really want to thank @jfc3, @Nethermind, @Jennison, @musingvirtual, @patricktimony and anyone else who travelled to come to #a11ysea. Thx | 2011-05-22T09:38:10-07:00 |

| brycej | Out on 4th street because Palmer has to go... And when you gotta go... #A11ysea | 2011-05-21T13:14:24-07:00 |
| brycej | @a11yconf Designers aren't data driven they are information driven. They need context & connections, data is not enough. #A11ysea | 2011-05-21T12:30:12-07:00 |
| brycej | Libraries talk at #a11ysea I'm no Lawyer but if the Library of Congress buys digital books from publishers do they need to comply with 508? | 2011-05-21T12:03:08-07:00 |
| brycej | I'm happy it is cloudy out today. Come to the library for #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T08:30:11-07:00 |

| chairkicker | Tremendous thanks again to each of the organizers of #a11ysea; I know that doing an event on that scale is just a huge amount of effort. | 2011-05-22T22:41:32-07:00 |
| chairkicker | Also, it was really great to meet & learn from so many folks. Went into #a11ysea thinking about software; left thinking about human beings. | 2011-05-22T10:05:37-07:00 |
| chairkicker | Heading back to the city of destiny after #a11ysea; lots to process & do; for now I'm thinking through the event's facilitation and design. | 2011-05-22T09:42:39-07:00 |

| chairkicker | JAWS Deathmatch, challenge number three, down to the wire: find the price of one item in an online catalog. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T17:21:05-07:00 |

| chairkicker | JAWS Deathmatch: new challenge. "Screens off. Easy one. (1) How many floors in Seattle Crown Plaza; (2) happy hour at Icon Grill." #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T17:03:42-07:00 |
| chairkicker | JAWS Deathmatch is pretty intense. 5 minutes or so until an easier challenge is issued. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T16:54:42-07:00 |
| chairkicker | JAWS Deathmatch continues? occasional outbursts from the victims/participants. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T16:48:29-07:00 |
| chairkicker | #a11ysea @Jennison says: "I think it's fair to at least get them to an Internet Explorer page." | 2011-05-21T16:40:21-07:00 |
| chairkicker | Didn't pack the hearing aid audio cable I'd need to play/lose at the JAWS deathmatch; watching the games instead. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T16:38:25-07:00 |

| csunwebmaster | @a11yconf It's no wonder you didn't get #Raptured. Yet. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T17:15:28-07:00 |
| damanw | Need for a simpler process to fix access issues. Is there really an undue burden? #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T17:23:50-07:00 |
| damanw | Technology is not a cure all. Students still need to learn to read and write manually #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T17:15:45-07:00 |

| dboudreau | @Nethermind Thanks, very nice of you to say. Really wished I could have made it, hopefully next year I will. #a11ySEA | 2011-05-22T08:36:23-07:00 |
| dboudreau | Worst. Apocalypse. Ever. Not only did I miss #a11ySEA, but no zombies are walking down my street tonight. #raptureDay | 2011-05-21T23:01:49-07:00 |

| dcomden | @brycej Comments on #a11ysea blog not appearing for me, is there a length limit? Access point for editing? | 2011-05-21T14:39:10-07:00 |
| dcomden | Eastern WA Univ replacing(?) copy machines with scanners in library, marketed as tool to collect text w/o paper #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T12:25:37-07:00 |
| dcomden | Still much frustration with PDF format. Why doesn't the process create an accessible file by default, without all the extra work? #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T11:44:25-07:00 |
| dcomden | first session at Accessibility Camp #a11ysea Text to Speech, Speech to Text | 2011-05-21T11:25:48-07:00 |
| deblewis53 | Encourage partnership of usability and accessibility. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T17:06:53-07:00 |
| deblewis53 | IT Security establishes models that can be modified for accessibility protocols integration. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T16:52:29-07:00 |
| deblewis53 | My 4th session: Building a Business Case for Accessibility. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T16:34:35-07:00 |
| deblewis53 | Can use bugs list to determine which items might apply to accessibility. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T15:47:49-07:00 |
| deblewis53 | HTML5 is in last call. Advocate for long desc. Summary. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T15:44:33-07:00 |
| deblewis53 | Background on HTML5 and ARIA. Not full implementation with screen readers yet. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T15:17:37-07:00 |
| deblewis53 | My 3rd session will be web access. HTML5 etc. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T14:55:25-07:00 |
| deblewis53 | No incentive for devs of 99 cent apps to be accessible. How to change that. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T14:21:38-07:00 |
| deblewis53 | Discussion of helpdesk tickets as a result of lack of universal design. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T14:10:28-07:00 |
| deblewis53 | Don't talk about disability, not familiar. Talk about using from keyboard, without mouse etc. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T14:08:27-07:00 |
| deblewis53 | Guidelines and standards are critical. WCAG or 508. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T14:07:24-07:00 |
| deblewis53 | Value of applying accessibility solutions to general productivity. and the stick of requirements does help. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T14:01:37-07:00 |
| deblewis53 | Accessibility is not a feature. It is how you implement a feature. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T13:56:07-07:00 |
| deblewis53 | When user persona of disability is established in isolation rather than in total flow, access consideration drops. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T13:50:59-07:00 |
| deblewis53 | Is design component ultimately responsible for accessibility? What happens when designer is really graphic artist? #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T13:48:56-07:00 |
| deblewis53 | Now attending session on design. So broad. We'll see where it goes. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T13:29:54-07:00 |
| deblewis53 | Personal take away from first session is to update our web site with resources for Iphone and Android access. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T13:28:55-07:00 |
| deblewis53 | My first session is on mobile accessibility. Discussing mobile apps verses mobile web. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T11:43:12-07:00 |
| deblewis53 | Another round of intros: describing our accessibility passion. Rich variety of interests. All reasonable #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T11:15:02-07:00 |

| dennisl | #a11ysea kicks off soon with keynote by @Jennison; knock em dead, buddy! | 2011-05-20T16:33:21-07:00 |
| devonpersing | Folding accessibility into W3C compliance and other larger metrics is a way to position a business in its vertical. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T16:57:03-07:00 |
| devonpersing | Devving from wireframes instead of designs puts the focus on semantic markup and progressive enhancement. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T16:48:52-07:00 |
| devonpersing | Humana has reduced their web dev costs by baking in accessibility and progressive enhancement. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T16:45:33-07:00 |
| devonpersing | One of my favorite business incentives for web accessibility: accessible sites are organically optimized for search engines. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T16:40:43-07:00 |
| devonpersing | Last session: building the business case for web accessibility. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T16:33:33-07:00 |
| devonpersing | http://t.co/M1eqAWR #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T15:52:07-07:00 |
| devonpersing | Good to know that assistive tech will use semantic chunking and ARIA to not completely choke on multiple headers in HTML5. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T15:20:51-07:00 |
| devonpersing | HTML5 is in last call. Get your comments and questions to the W3C. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T15:13:52-07:00 |
| devonpersing | We get to pick an HTML5 working group member's brain. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T15:09:21-07:00 |
| devonpersing | Non-accessible design is almost never malicious; it comes from ignorance of issues. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T12:30:03-07:00 |
| devonpersing | Demonstrating users struggling with a usability or accessibility issue is a stronger message than quoting a guideline. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T12:22:31-07:00 |
| devonpersing | Accreditation/certification in accessible design and dev? #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T12:17:39-07:00 |
| devonpersing | @musingvirtual Meant to say "thoughtful design" but tiny fake buttons, etc. End result was certainly more poetic! #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T12:15:28-07:00 |
| devonpersing | Where is legislation about mobile accessibility? Still too new? #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T12:13:58-07:00 |
| devonpersing | Devs don't always have access to disabled users to test with. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T12:06:07-07:00 |
| devonpersing | A major hurdle is finding info about turning on/using/finding accessible features and apps. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T12:03:54-07:00 |
| devonpersing | A lot of accessibility work is baked into semantic code and thoughtful desire. Read: don't be lazy. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T12:00:25-07:00 |
| devonpersing | Conversation about accessibility as edge case, altho a lot of mobile tech grew out of edge case design. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T11:53:25-07:00 |
| devonpersing | Mobile web is also crucial for users who can't access the latest mobile apps. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T11:44:53-07:00 |
| devonpersing | Screen real estate is an even larger issue for zoomed/magnified text on mobile devices than desktop devices. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T11:39:40-07:00 |
| devonpersing | More fundamental question: how to make cell phones themselves more universally accessible: buttons, fonts, etc. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T11:38:03-07:00 |
| devonpersing | Argument for apps since they are task specific, but the web can be task-specific as well. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T11:36:31-07:00 |
| devonpersing | What makes more sense for accessibility: mobile apps or mobile web? #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T11:34:22-07:00 |
| devonpersing | Explaining and signing the grid. #a11ysea http://t.co/vLkX26J | 2011-05-21T10:44:09-07:00 |

| dylanw | BTW, #a11ysea: I'm on the @barcampseattle organizing cabal, and if you want to advocate to devs, let's do it. June 25-26 @ Adobe. | 2011-05-22T18:54:45-07:00 |
| dylanw | I think we crowdsource review of HTML5 in Last Call, identify issues and champion them. Focus on #a11y, but find the issues. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T15:49-07:00 |
| dylanw | Talking about actual <audio> and <video> implementations -- with <track> and fallback. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T15:35:01-07:00 |
| dylanw | I hope we'll have an HTML5 conversation on #a11y without falling into the trap of just beating up on WHATWG and W3C. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T15:12:59-07:00 |
| dylanw | I kinda wish these #a11ysea discussions were a little more focused. | 2011-05-21T13:43:59-07:00 |
| dylanw | The inaccessibility of iOS apps is rampant. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T11:58:59-07:00 |
| dylanw | When you have to root the phone in order to get fonts suitable for low-vision, you're building your mobile OS wrong. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T11:44:16-07:00 |
| dylanw | dylanw: "Rule of Two Feet" is now "Rule of Movement." I prefer "Rule of You Can Leave." #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T10:52:23-07:00 |
| dylanw | Live from #a11ysea. | 2011-05-21T10:28:33-07:00 |
| dylanw | Heading to #a11ysea tomorrow, but this week has been so draining I need to stay home and not be social tonight. Sorry, folks. | 2011-05-20T18:39:28-07:00 |

| GlendaWH | @musingvirtual Glad to hear #a11ysea is still out there. Hope you find a quasi comfy place to rest. | 2011-05-21T15:23:22-07:00 |

| jfc3 | @wendyabc it was a pleasure to come to Seattle. Wishing I could have stayed another day, but will have to come out another time. #a11ysea | 2011-05-22T21:49:51-07:00 |
| jfc3 | glad to be home and going to be able to sleep in my own bed, but already missing the #tribe. #a11ysea #a11y | 2011-05-22T21:48:03-07:00 |
| jfc3 | @Nethermind sorry to here you're in Atlanta until tomorrow. I'm now catching the last metro train of the night home. #a11ysea | 2011-05-22T21:08:41-07:00 |

| kellylford | @a11ysea @ThinkTone One resource for disability stats might be http://goo.gl/9t0cD. If they don't have what you want might know who does. | 2011-05-22T19:00:53-07:00 |

| lovelyannac | Options for interaction modes is key for equal access to games #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T17:17:47-07:00 |
| lovelyannac | Some games are inherently inaccessible. Really? I thought I was an #a11y conference! #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T16:57:05-07:00 |
| lovelyannac | #ally and gaming at #a11ysea = fun! | 2011-05-21T16:34:04-07:00 |
| lovelyannac | How does one add an audio desc (audio file) to an HTML5 video tag? In the spec? #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T15:43:26-07:00 |
| lovelyannac | session on closed captions and audio access drifted toward radio station metadata and web audio players for blind. Not much on CC. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T14:12:36-07:00 |

| mastodonlabs | Whoa! html5 spec is 1200 pages! #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T15:45:27-07:00 |
| mastodonlabs | you can search w3c's bugzilla database for html5 bugs with 'a11y' #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T15:44:21-07:00 |
| mastodonlabs | in motivating people, we contrast carrot vs stick. we need a 3rd option like cat of nine tails. it'll sting but you might like it #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T14:20:41-07:00 |
| mastodonlabs | it's weird to notice that it's mostly the guys in the design session voicing their thoughts, and women just listening #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T13:56-07:00 |
| mastodonlabs | if there was a site for accessibility user testing, would you identify your screen readers/accessible tech + your disability? #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T12:30:40-07:00 |
| mastodonlabs | if you're not considering accessibility in your designs, you're not a UX Designer #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T12:08:04-07:00 |

| musingvirtual | "9th circuit said in the Target case that Internet is a place of public accomodation if there are goods or services going through" #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T14:04:10-07:00 |
| musingvirtual | how do we balance qualitative + checklist accessibility? #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T13:58:34-07:00 |
| musingvirtual | how do we come from a radical advocacy standpoint but also give businesses tools and create paths? #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T13:57:51-07:00 |
| musingvirtual | now talking about "undue burden" and "public accomodation" and how we look at those as advocates #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T13:57:01-07:00 |
| musingvirtual | "technology is not the cure-all - blind need to learn 2 read (braille) to learn necessary cognitive skills for working/writing etc" #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T13:49:12-07:00 |
| musingvirtual | "using a mobile device is like acquiring a functional disability on purpose - and ppl wonder why we are angry?" #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T13:45:01-07:00 |
| musingvirtual | "i want people to recognize that we need an innovation model, not a rehabilitation model" - pwds are creative in meeting needs #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T13:43:38-07:00 |
| musingvirtual | "there needs to be a simple process for getting what i need" "i don't want getting accomodations to be like a 2nd job" #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T13:42:30-07:00 |

| musingvirtual | "sighted people treat us like little babies, think we're stupid." "being blind is an expensive thing and 70% of us are unemployed." #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T13:38:37-07:00 |
| musingvirtual | in room 2 talking about web accessibility as a civil right, protests + sitins, equal access, REVOLUTION #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T13:33:21-07:00 |
| musingvirtual | @ThinkTone is that at all helpful? difficult concept to explain in 140 esp if u are non technical. #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T12:29:15-07:00 |
| musingvirtual | @ThinkTone technical reasons why they don't - basically browser gets code from server, analytics + screenreader gets from browser #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T12:28:56-07:00 |
| musingvirtual | Are there any other #spoonie folks at #a11ysea? | 2011-05-21T12:25:09-07:00 |

| Nethermind | If we could submit 3 recommendations for changes to #HTML5 to support #a11y what should we request? #a11ysea #revolution | 2011-05-21T15:45:35-07:00 |

| Nethermind | @musingvirtual @ThinkTone danger of screen reader analytics is marginalization, though, & doesn't address spectrum of disabilities #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T12:30:53-07:00 |
| Nethermind | Karthik's suggestion: Beta testing group of disabled users to provide feedback for corporations, most excellent idea yet! #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T12:27:59-07:00 |
| Nethermind | William says to find a way to bring your stakeholders in contact with end users to make the human connection #a11ysea | 2011-05-21T12:22:06-07:00 |

| Nethermind | From both #AccessU and now #a11ysea the need to put designers with disabled users is an emerging topic and critical need | 2011-05-21T12:10:07-07:00 |
