Changing the overview, focus on moving away from the term, 'edge'

Jason: We do need to further define automation around some sections

janina: Sending the ten open sections to the list

Jason: If I get those, I can fill them in.

Sustainability and Accessibility, the role of the Edge

Chris: I attended an information architecture session on the intersection of #accessibility and #climateUX.

Chris: I attended an information architecture session on the intersection of #accessibility and #climateUX.
… From the session: The adverse effects of climate change disproportionately affect the most vulnerable, but what does this mean in the context of UX?
… How does accessibility affect climate?
… I ask, how does accessibility possibly affect the sustainability of a given website?

janina: What is unnecessary accessibility?

Chris: Consider multiple websites, some of which use more energy than others. There could be an ability to use the lower energy site.

Lionel_Wolberger: The Edge can definitely contribute here

janina: Let's discuss.
