Stormy, First, let's all thank you very much for your involvement in keeping A11y in the forefront of GNOME. You're truly an asset to the GNOME community.
As for Samuel Rebelsky, that is exciting news. My inclination is to suggest that he join the mailing list. It's not a high-traffic list (although I'm hoping it will be.) There's mailing lists for specific a11y apps, but this is a good place for general discussion and getting to know each other. I think its the perfect forum for discussing his plans for the cirriculum and he'll get broader input from many different areas. I think it would also behoove him to stop by during one of our meetings. While we hold weekly meetings, we have a time-shifted meeting every fourth Monday of the month at 20:00 UTC. It's both more convenient for his timezone and that particular meeting time seems to yield the most general discussion, whereas the other weekly meetings at 02:00 UTC (Tuesdays) are more task-oriented. A good opportunity for him to develop key relationships with people in a11y who can provide useful feedback for his course design. Thank you again, Stormy!
