JB: Omit "Training" we don't run such.

AK: OK
MK: OK
AK: How to begin it: Avoid talking about barriers. Universal design and
accessibility. Good design considers all users. ...
ACTION: Will post this much more lengthy statement to list.
JB: Confusion of terms:
In Europe: "design for all", vs
North America: "universal design".
WL: Make sure that "Useable and accessible not equated with pedestrian, boring.
HB: The design by WL uses two-column, and some bulleted lists as design encouragement. Interest, but can be barrier for some reading devices.
JB: See:
WL: In body, will have something covering policy.
JB: Getting offers from governments to provide their implemention plans.
CL: Prefer reorganized content
WL: This is a "meta" business case building model
JB: May have some mini-samples.
WL: Train people to design own business cases.
JB: Appendices to include demographics.
HB: These are "success" stories.
JB: Any volunteers to develop some of these modules.
WL: Who have built #1 Customized business case."
JB: How build front page, how to plan training.
JB: More pointers. People with drastically different needs, country to country. Also, by sector (buiness, government, non-profit).
WL: Need a "Da?"
JB: Why?
WL: Motivator, put as chapter 0.
JB: Marketplace, universal carryover design requirements, visibility-leadership.
WL: Left out:
CL: Needn't give business case.
AK: Want people to design pages for accessibility.
WL: Why should they?
JB: We don't mention education, media.
JB: Top page we highlight 4 types.
WL: Education is government? "Official" Personal web pages need this too.
AK: Those aren't part of the "business case"
WL: All ISPs hawk that you can have your own web site. These too are important. Will submit some text.
JB: Otherwise, put on the "how to build a customized personal page."
JB: Implementation separated from Business Plan.
CL: Natural to separate them out, In Canadian government, business case is no longer issue. Now need help with implementation.
WL: Design of business plan, not of web site.
JB: Separation, includes outline of business plan and resource estimate to carry it out. They are separate things. You may need both business plan and implementation plan. You may be able to drop the first once it is accepted.
CL: Will get draft of a plan for implementation from one government agency in next one to four weeks. If they give permission to share, that may be usable. Possibly won't get permission.
JB: Composites that do true case studies. Make more comprehensive.
CL: May be able to adapt some of it into composite.
JB: Next week.
