Wayne has joined #eo
13:09:31 [Jack]
Judy: Gives background. Worked on several years. The approach was one of building your own. Is still the level of interest? Have people heard that it is being used? Are people using it in their organization or outreach efforts?
13:09:33 [Wayne]

13:15:07 [Jack]
Judy: How could it made more useable? Would a slide set help? Perhaps a demo?
13:16:06 [Jack]
Shawn: Perhaps an article or something to put in a newletter?
13:16:47 [Jack]
Jack: That would be useful.
13:21:10 [Wayne]
zakim, unmute me
13:21:10 [Zakim]
wayne was not muted, Wayne
13:21:52 [Jack]

13:22:47 [Zakim]
Justin_Thorp should no longer be muted
13:23:08 [Jack]
Wayne: Can also be useful for a university system
13:23:39 [Jack]
Judy: How can it be used?
13:25:10 [Jack]
Wayne: Will look at issues dealing with policy and process issue. May need to add a section on 'How to get started?'
13:27:36 [Jack]
William: This document is for those where the wall have already been kicked down. There is a need for a document that helps to knock the walls in the first place.
13:28:20 [Jack]
Judy: Can you clarify?
13:29:59 [Jack]
William: Many places are still not ready to recognize that they have accesssibility needs
13:30:55 [pasquale]
zakim, please unmute me
13:30:55 [Zakim]

zakim, please unmute me
13:31:35 [Zakim]
Pasquale was not muted, pasquale
13:33:41 [Jack]
George: In middle of a K-12 competition. The business model may be useful, especially with community colleges
13:35:51 [Jack]
Justin: University system in Michigan is similar to what Wayne describes. May also have uses with particular classes and help students understand case for accessibility
13:37:03 [Jack]
Judy: Are there additional things we could do to make this useable? Such as an introduction.
13:38:46 [Jack]
Judy: Perhaps articles. Perhaps case studies - though this might be too labor intensive
13:39:40 [Jack]
Shawn: Perhaps a slide set. This could provide a lot of use for minimal effort
13:40:15 [Jack]
Judy: Lets focus of the idea of a slide set for right now
13:41:36 [Jack]
George: A slide set would be a good idea. Perhaps links to case studie
13:42:18 [Jack]
George: Perhaps links to examples
13:42:37 [shawn]
(doh, just found a comma missing in the business case :/
13:43:11 [Jack]
Judy: It would be great to meet that goal but need to maintain vendor neutrality
13:43:58 [shawn]
George: ...graphical...
13:44:43 [Jack]
Shawn: Clarifies George's comment that examples of particular issues
13:45:50 [Jack]
Wayne: Thinks slide set is a good idea, but it needs to be accessible
13:45:55 [shawn]
(discussion on how it fits in the process, what you do first)
13:46:58 [pasquale]
sorry, my mic doesn't work, i'll send email to the list with my experiences about it ;-(
13:47:19 [shawn]
q+ to say we need that 3 carrots & a stick image.
13:47:59 [Jack]
Liam: Can be useful but we probably make up our own sets of slides depending on client and especially their acceptance of the need for accessibility and hostility
13:48:30 [pasquale]
ok
13:48:43 [Jack]
Judy: The more resistence of the audience the more that data is needed?
13:50:03 [Jack]
Judy: Slides may be the best low effort and return item. Is there a better approach than a mini-slide set.
13:50:43 [pasquale]
on Sept 6, I gave a 4 hours talk about
13:50:43 [pasquale]

13:50:55 [pasquale]
http://www.w3.org/WAI/bcase/Overview
13:50:57 [pasquale]
and the results and feedback was really good!
13:50:59 [pasquale]
I'm going to translate it into italian ;-)
13:51:28 [Jack]
Wayne: Brief annoucements used in conjunction with slide sets could be effective
13:53:46 [Jack]

13:54:15 [pasquale]
all the document
13:54:36 [pasquale]
no,
13:54:48 [Jack]
Shawn: Reading Pasquale's comments since his microphone is not working
13:55:10 [judy_dc]
can't hear me?
13:55:33 [Jack]
Shawn: Has anyone does slides already?
13:57:34 [Jack]
Wayne: Slide set should address different levels of acceptance
13:58:36 [Jack]
Jack: Different levels of knowledge and acceptance of accessibility on the web
13:59:29 [Jack]
William: Different history should be reflected in slides
14:01:32 [Jack]
Judy: Expains more of the background that William is refering to with MicroSoft and accessibility
14:04:00 [Jack]
Judy: To have the case studies work well they would have to be directly retlated to web accessibility
14:04:37 [Jack]
Judy: Should we have Shawn add an introduction?
14:04:54 [Jack]
Shawn: Probably not.
14:06:00 [Jack]
Judy: Any other ideas?
14:07:47 [Jack]
Liam: Taking a step back and talking to people that this is a hard struggle
14:08:20 [Jack]
Judy: A resource document for advocates?
14:09:21 [Jack]
Wayne: Important thought - but have not done anything with it
14:11:07 [Jack]
Wayne: A web-based survey form to deal with the need for web accessibility
14:11:56 [Jack]
Justin: Would it be possible to give things to bloggers
14:12:26 [Jack]
William: Need a clipping service
14:13:02 [Justin]
q+ there are plenty of social bookmarking tools out on the web
14:18:18 [Jack]
Judy: Paying attention to timing. Simple strategies such slides sets, blogger names, mentions in conference may have a multiplier effect
14:19:12 [shawn]
