Suzette Keith One of my goals of this 'basic' piece was to provide useful basic content on the page and minimise the number of links off the page.
Rationale - the huge number of cross-referencing links in WAI materials confuse my brain and I tend to find myself going round in ever decreasing or possibly expanding circles.
I am pleased with the result. Please continue to keep the number of links in this piece to the minimum essential.
Sylvie Duchateau Editor's discretion:
Location: h2 "Understand how people use the Web" secon bullet on Ms Laitinen
Actual wording: "Ms. Laitinen is the chief accountant at an insurance company that uses web-based documents and forms over a corporate intranet. She is blind and, like many other people who are blind, she does not read braille."
Proposed change: check that this description corresponds to the modified version of this storry, as, if I remember correctly, Ms Laitinen reads braille but she uses it only to check things, like spelling.
In the following paragraphs, check that if the links to diversityof Web users or the following link text correspond to the agreed title, when it has been agreed.
Vicki Menezes Miller
Jennifer Sutton I've one comment. It's very much editor's discretion. Should the {@@...} notes above the conent be removed at this point? Since it's a Wiki, comments/changes may come in, but we may want this version to appear more or less "final."
Shadi Abou-Zahra Looks really good for the audience that it is targeting!
Denis Boudreau
Helle Bjarnø Really good content whish I had time to translate it and use here.
Priority: Editors discression.
Location: Under h2 The web is for all people and especially under h3 "What is web accessibility"
Suggested revision: Make this section shorter by removing 2nd paragraph: Web accessibility encompasses all disabilities that affect access to the Web, including people with auditory, cognitive, neurological, physical, speech, and visual disabilities. Accessibility includes people with impairments due to ageing."
Rationale: When reading this intro section I feel that we are really saying the same thing in many different ways, and maybe too many
I relly had to tell myself to continue reading. But I can live with it - not all people have heard this as many times as we have...
