Shireen, I have heard from other folks that purposeful decisions have been made to not engage with the "rock star standards" or @w3c communities as there was no representation much less outreach. What are your thoughts on this? #respectToYou 鉂わ笍馃挌馃挋

This article came out in 1997. I had already started the first WoC web firm. Two years later I would form Digital Sisters/as the very first organization to get women and girls of color online and in tech.

I have a bunch to say about this. The standards had a particular group in mind. It still does. This is indeed on purpose. It's part of closing the door on diverse history of tech.

I agree and this is why I asked. We set no example, and I look too white to drive the point home that there are many "others" (is it us or them at this point eh?). I am deeply and long have been deeply disturbed by this segregation and ignorance. xo
