[Electronics-talk] Purpose of list [was "Re: Google Calendar"]

[Christopher J Chaltain]

Yes, this is the Electronics-Talks mailing list, although I assume your question is just rhetorical.

Since you didn't include the message you're responding to, I'm not sure exactly what you're referring to, but I'm curious if you read the description of this list? Here it is:

This list is intended for the sharing of information about, and
   discussion of the accessibility of various consumer electronics
   devices. Sharing of information about, and discussion of MP3 players;
   cell phones and other telephones; DVD players, receivers and other
   stereo and video components; satellite and HD radios; and household
   appliances including microwaves, washers, dryers, stoves, and the like;
   is appropriate and encouraged. With more and more devices having
   inaccessible controls or displays, a place to share information and
   experiences is needed.

In short, it's about the disccussion of accessible electronic devices. I don't think that Google Calendar fits in that description. I'm not the moderator though, so I'll let you take it up with him. Even though I don't subscribe to a list where this would be more on topic, I would think you'd have a better chance of getting your question answered if you posted it to such a list. I do subscribe to a list where issues surrounding the JAWS screen reader are discussed, so if your question has to do with Google Calendar and JAWS then you could post it there. I could fetch that list information if you need it.

BTW, the web page with the description of the list is at: http://www.nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/electronics-talk_nfbnet.org
