Issue 20 Status & soliciting Issue 21 articles

[Sumana Harihareswara <sumanah panix com>]

Attention Conservation Notice: Issue 20 is delayed and will launch 15 
June, and we'd like articles on accessibility by 10 July.

Issue 20 status:
	Several articles scheduled for Issue 20 are not yet finished, so 
we have delayed them till a future issue.  The Textpattern CMS's database 
has gotten corrupted, so Paul will be working on that this weekend. 
Because of this issue and other commitments in his life & mine, we are 
postponing the publication date two weeks to June 15th.

Issue 21: Accessibility:
	Accessibility in GNOME is a huge part of our core mission, and in 
GNOME 3 our a11y foundations will be better than ever.  Paul, Bryen, and I 
would love to get several articles about a11y into Issue 21.  Article 
drafts are due 10 July for a 1 August publication date.  Article ideas:

 How and why GNOME 3 is awesome in terms of accessibility
 Eitan Isaacson or Joanmarie Diggs BtS interview
 a11y overview: why you, random developer or vendor, should care about 
Caribou, ATSPI, etc. For example, it makes it easier to do automated 
testing. And silent visual alerts can help you when you're in a meeting.
 GNOME Shell integration
    * Idea from J Diggs: "On the gnome-shell stuff, aside from talking to 
the actual gnome-shell devs, there's Alejandro Pieiro Iglesias (API when 
he's around) who is working on Cally and ensuring Orca + gnome-shell work. 
And there's Joseph Scheuhammer (clown when he's around) who is doing 
gnome-shell magnification (i.e. a new magnifier in gnome shell)"
 Igalia's Webkit work
 Accessibility work by governments, firms, and community in Zaragoza, 
Spain
 Interview someone like Bryen Yunashko about functional regressions in 
accessibility in GNOME 3.0, and how we're going to fix them
