[governance] Fwd: The US factor in the WSIS needshighlightingasmuch as the Tunisian factor

[Gurstein, Michael]

Hi Linda,
 
A quick reply... Yes, if we use the term "interesting" to mean of
"interest" or "value" to the user (rather than simply "engaging to the
user") then certainly an "interesting" or "value-adding" application
will generate additional involvement and activity. An "engaging"
application will also likely generate "interest" but only until
something new or more "engaging" comes along...
 
Best,
 
MG

Greetings and thank you for weighing in on the content side, if I
understand it; else please forgive and illuminate further.  
 
I would appreciate your view on the following - that the more
interesting the substance, the more will conceptual notice of need for,
and practical routes to, accessibility develop as in other
at-least-partially self-governing systems (a view).  
 
This observation is not to prejudice or detract from issues of
accessibility at all, and in fact in communication modalities and
formats for all including those with disabilities, emphatically - but
just to suggest that very interesting uses and materials have a way of
propagating interest and support, indeed sometimes from unanticipated
sources.
 
Very bests wishes, and thank you for the discussion, LDMF.
