[WG: Accessibility] Accessibility testing of Sakai OAE

[Jon Hays]

Hi Anne,

I'm sure there are many ways Dr. Hadder could provide accessibility 
feedback to OAE.  I'm cc'ing the Sakai accessibility list and the OAE PM 
so they can chime in where appropriate.

I want to think that there is a protocol or accessibility rubric that 
can be followed, but I'll leave that to experts.

thanks
