Just on a note of clarification, are we talking about the effective
communication of our websites? That is, do we exclude from this people
who don't have computer access? Also, since we are a print medium, do
we exclude people who do not have a written form of language (ignoring
transliterations which are used academically, but are not used to
communicate between speakers of that language)?

I'm pretty sure I know the answers to some of these questions, but I
want to make sure.
