Re: NVDA skype group

Hi,

Considering we do not have official technical support like commercial screen reader manufacturers often do, groups and platforms for NVDA related discussion on various networking utilities is definitely needed. There is a Facebook group for NVDA with over a thousand members named NVDA All The Way, but in my opinion, not really active, often off-topic postings are made, and just not that NVDA enriching. I hope this NVDA Skype group is able to achieve what it aims, and I have joined it too. A Whatsapp group for NVDA is not a bad idea either - the thing is, how many people would be interested in one? How comfortable would most people be in sharing their phone number (inevitably on Whatsapp) while communicating? Technological Whatsapp groups for visually impaired have been very successful in the past, as they continue to proliserate in terms of member base as well as content quality. I co-administer one such group on Whatsapp by the name of Technology for VI and it encompasses people from across the globe, talking about a variety of assistive technologies, all visually impaired (please ask me offlist for further details regarding the same). I see obvious benefits in an e-group, whether Whatsapp based or not, that specially focuses on NVDA, and it might be a great idea. However, Whatsapp is something that requires more careful and considerate administration, which is achievable (from the example and my personal experience in administering Technology for VI) but still a chunk of work. I would appreciate if more NVDA users and this forum's listers could comment in their potential interest in joining an NVDA specific Whatsapp group, or incase anyone else would like to create something on Facebook or elsewhere for the same. Since the lightning talk in NVDACon International 2016 about global online NVDA communities and e-groups takes place very soon, I hope we may have a more elaborate chat there as well about this possibility of expanding NVDA communities across networking platforms. Thanks.
