[Blindmath] A Lot of SVG?

[John Gardner]

Hello Christine, this list often sees clusters of conversations centering on
one topic for a period of time, but things have always then settled back to
normal.  While this SVG discussion is pretty intense, I believe it is very
important to people who need to do math, and I would hate to see it
separate.  For hard core participants on this list, all it would mean is two
lists.  And you know how things frequently get reflected from list to list.
So many posts would then start appearing on both lists.  I am already
reading many posts twice because they appear on the Accessible Graphics
list.  So I, for one, would vote to keep the SVG discussion on this list.
Traffic will no doubt decrease as the app matures.  

But I sure do understand your concern with list traffic.  If there is a
digest version of this list, maybe you could use that?  I use digests for
several lists, and it helps a lot with time management.

Dear Friends and Colleagues,
  Perhaps this is my impression alone, but it seems like this list has
suddenly become very focused on announcing every new change/version of SVG
and moved away from its original intent. I realize its potential and
understand the value, but given that there are often 10+ emails about this
product alone every day that often are meant to discuss strengths/limits of
the product, announce every new update... , I am wondering if there needs to
be a separate list for just this. Perhaps one great option might be to
construct a forum on the website where those using it can contribute so that
even those who are not part of this list may benefit and so that more
elaborated discussions  can emerge in a more directly connected location.


  Again, I think it is a product with wonderful potential and understand its
value to the VI-community but I am finding that much of the discussion on
this list of late is becoming questions as to the  strengths and bugs
associated with this product. This  may not be an opinion shared by the
list-at-large  and thus if I am alone in this thought, feel free to
disregard this message though this just seems like a  discussion that is
becoming worthy of its own list as it seems to be taking on a life of its
own.
thanks!
