Hi,
I owe you all an explanation:
For those on lists such as The Tech Zone, Blind Tech and others may have seen a
message inviting people to join a list called Windows 10 for the blind (a
completely different list than the one I'm currently presiding). One day,
someone sends a message to that list (which was hosted on Groups.IO), and
subsequently was deleted (the whole list, that is). I have resurrected that
list under a different name and under a different leadership, and I have
resolved to keep a closer eye on the owner of the original Windows 10 list.
In regards to relationship between this list and the Win10 list (the new one),
you could say that this list served as a model for the new Win10 list. Unlike
this list (which will be around for a while), the Win10 list allows people
using other screen readers to join.
Cheers,
Joseph

Hi,
This particular Windows 10 list at Freelists by the name of NVDA-Winten, is one
NVDA or blind Windows 10 group.
What are these first and second generations of this seemingly other Windows 10
blindness related group?
Could someone ellucidate all this a bit to me?
Thanks.

I'm not saying a word to him. Hell I might creat a filter to block his
basket self on that other list.

Well and it looks like mahene is back on the second list now.
Still not sure about my feelings towards that, I think as long as we
don't answer direct messages at him we should be ok.

Hi Austin,
It turns out Maheen has deleted the first generation of Win10 list.
I have
resurrected the list using a different email address, so you are
more than welcome to join the second generation instead.
Cheers,
Joseph

To be honest I understand how you feel.
However I did feel the same way and look he is trying, he seems to
be ok.
I don't blame you for your feeling as it was my concern.
I actually posted privately because I was concerned that maheen
would be his old self but look he is trying and he seems to be ok
though he doesn't post much but heck, he had issues he admitted to
that, and he has got himself sorted.
I don't fully trust him ofcause I don't but I think he is really
trying.

10 list does indeed die.

Hi all,
In a few moments you’ll receive an invitation to join a group
called Windows 10 for the blind. If you are in favor of merging
this list with the other, please accept the invitation (it’s up to you).
Here’s what’s going on:
·Subject tag change: Currently the subject tag for the list is
“Windows 10 for the blind”. I and other listers are suggesting
that the subject tag be changed (Groups.IO has a setting to
change this) to something short, such as “WinTen”,
“WinTen-blind”, “W10” and so on.
·Subgroups: Groups.IO has a subgroups feature: groups within a
parent group. There’s a proposal to create some subgroups,
including one for NVDA users and another for Windows Insiders,
each one headed by a chair who’ll receive equivalent of a list owner
rights.
I’ll send a reminder to new subscribers (Maheen is the head
owner at this point, and I do have same rights as him at this time).
Cheers,
Joseph
