Archived: Other ideas for potential topics

All ideas welcome for discussion, please add yours.

  • [summary — description (name)]
  • Selecting Authoring ToolsSelecting and Using Authoring Tools for Web Accessibility needs significant updating and revision. Maybe would be good to have conceptual discussion at F2F *if* we have an editor ready to take it on and they can have a draft Requirements Analysis before the F2F. Here is old Changelog with very limited Requirements Analysis. Here's Example Requirements Analysis (Shawn from charter)
  • outreach — (Shawn, Brent from charter)
  • presentations — Approach to updating the old presentations. Probably needs EO-Plan first, not F2F discussion. (Shawn from charter)
  • Better Web BrowsingBetter Web Browsing: Tips for Customizing Your Computer needs significant updating - but probably not need f2f discussion (Shawn from charter)
  • Easy ChecksEasy Checks Next Generation Not sure if there's anything to talk about yet? (Shawn from charter)
  • Training SuiteDeveloping Web Accessibility Presentations and Training content updates. Need to check with Vivienne and Andrew if there are significant things that would be good at F2F, or fine for weekly meetings. (Shawn from charter)
  • Translations — ui, parameters (Shawn from charter)
  • (moonshot) Writing Style — Invite Ashley Bischoff (http://friendlyediting.com) to tell us a bit about good writing, maybe she would be willing to take a look at a tutorial page to show us what we're doing wrong :-D (Eric)
