... contact people, get involved

<Katy> Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! :)

richard: might get some joiners from there
... BBC has interesting problems in their websites
... make github repo where we can raise issues
... see everything through "need to reduce bandwidth"
... especially due to low bandwidth
... problems with e.g. Sinhala
... sounded interesting
... HM government not so many obvious opportunities
... WCAG has guidelines, lots of folks use to make in-house
... tailor it to themselves
... nice to have i18n guidelines like that
