Might file that one away with @alissa's "Evidence based whinging" as another standard section for research papers.

I can't remember why I was looking at this post by @ashley on accessibility and archiving on the web but I love everything about it:

It is true that turning up is the most important thing.

It’s also true that just showing up is not nearly enough and we spend far too much time arranging the affairs of organisations around to suit the people who do turn up, instead of carrying out strategic activities towards goals

Just re-upping this offer: because being comfortable with git is a barrier to entry to many FS/OSS projects, and because I care deeply about lowering those barriers, I will tutor anyone who asks for help with git, and/or connect them with any mentor(s) they might prefer.

I'll do this while I put energy and work into making the tool more approachable, and into making better tools and learning paths.

Boosts gratefully appreciated.

The fight for diversity, equality and inclusion is the fight for software freedom. Our movement will only be successful if it includes everyone. RMS does not speak for these values.
