[WG: Accessibility] Teleconference this Thursday

[Richwine, Brian L]

Hi all,



During the teleconference two weeks ago, we talked about developing the working group's accessibility testing process. Mike and Eli suggested looking at existing accessibility testing protocols. I have collected a series of links (below) to the Accessibility Review Protocols as found on the Fluid Project's Wiki.



I will be out of the office today, and the rest of the week, and since others here at the ATAC at Indiana University are busy fighting fires, we thought we'd send out these links to Fluid's testing protocols as a reading list instead of holding today's phone conference. Please read over the protocols to get a feel for them. Also, if you have other accessibility testing/review protocols that can be offered as examples, please send them to the list.



Developing the WG's testing protocol is probably too extensive of a task to be completed over our bi-weekly phone teleconference. If anyone is interested in volunteering to work as a group on developing it, please express that interest and then we can discuss how we can proceed.
