## Recap of Goals/Scope

Marketing the WordPress Community: this subgroup feel strongly that the community
is a very big selling point of the software, and promoting some of the things that
are coming out of the community would raise awareness and encourage adoption of 
the software; that could include raise awareness about accessibilityAccessibility
Accessibility (commonly shortened to a11y) refers to the design of products, devices,
services, or environments for people with disabilities. The concept of accessible
design ensures both “direct access” (i.e. unassisted) and “indirect access” meaning
compatibility with a person’s assistive technology (for example, computer screen
readers). (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accessibility) or internationalization 
advancements, or even helping local groups with marketing materials or resources
