[games_access] Game Accessibility SIG Meetings: Restart THIS WEEK!!!

[d. michelle hinn]

hi Eelke,

Yes the wiki is the plan -- we have our own that I'm trying to update 
at the moment at:

http://www.igda.org/wiki/index.php/Game_Accessibility_SIG

I thought about looking for an automated meeting reminder but I think 
that most of us have some sort of calendar where we can just put that 
down on. The notes will be summarized for each meeting (reading 
through pages of emoticons gets dull after a while)

At this point for the website, all I know for sure is that the wiki 
will remain. So anything we do there, stays there. I'm thinking about 
asking if, at least temporarily, it can be our opening page since the 
blog is going away in favor of some web 2.0 system.

Michelle
