[Nfb-web] I am really Disappointed!

[Cathy Schroeder]

I am really disappointed in the behavior of some of my NFB colleagues on
this list. I assume we all want to be here to help with improving the lives
of blind people. There is always room to improve anything we do.
Constructive criticism is okay, but what I am reading is just mean and
nasty. This list is out there for public consumption and should reflect the
positive attitude we have in the federation. Before you post, ask yourself,
if you would want to receive that comment about something you have spent
time designing. We should always live by the golden rule, do unto others as
you would have done unto you.

Now that I have expressed my opinion, I want to say that many of us web
masters are using this volunteer experience to learn how to work with web
sites. Gentle advice would go a long way to help us improve what we do.
Let's try to feel the brotherly love of this organization.

OK folks, I guess some of you don't understand subtlety.  I don't 
think much of this conversation is productive and some people are 
using it to air their pet peeves against the NFB, Baltimore, blind 
people who don't use technology well etc.

I think all of us want the same thing, that is for the NFB and its 
affiliates, divisions and chapters to have accessible, usable, 
attractive and informative web sites.  It isn't easy, there are never 
all the resources we would want or like.  However, we aren't going to 
get there by taking shots at everything, so cut it out please!

p.s.  As an example, it doesn't accomplish anything by just saying 
the NFB web site sucks.  Write a plan, why isn't it good, what should 
it be, what should it have etc.  If you care then spend a little time 
in coming up with something positive.

I am not trying to pick on anyone who mentioned the site, I just used 
it as an example.

DA
