Masterlist

[Gregg Vanderheiden]

Great opening line Randall.

 I would like to help kick this off by inviting everyone to go look at the master list of techniques and needs. This is a listing of all of the different accessibility techniques that we have catalogued to date. This is a list of techniques that works across disabilities. So it is a comprehensive list.

The goal is to have each group go through the list and identify  those things that are useful to their group, and then to add information about how those features should be designed to work best for people who have that particular disability.

The listing also should have all of the free and open source software, as well as all of the commercial software, that implements that feature. We also want to capture any research projects that are looking into that feature or capability. 

 the link to the master list working group which describes the purpose of the master list etc. is:

http://raisingthefloor.net/projects/masterlist 

The link to the master list  itself can be found on this page.

If everyone could go look at the master list and start a discussion here about things they see missing as well as those things they think that would be most useful that would be a good start.

 

I have another idea as well but I will post that in a separate e-mail so that we can have the topics thread themselves properly. If you decide to take off on a new topic please start it with a new subject line so that people can easily keep track of the different trains of thought.
