Re: [office-accessibility] No OASIS ODF Accessibility subcommittee meetingtomorrow, Thursday 30November

Hi folks,

I am in Seattle this week. We are essentially waiting for 2 things:

• A revised guidelines document from Mac which should come out today.
• A 1.2 draft to review.

Having either of these in place we can start going at it again.

Subject	[office-accessibility] No OASIS ODF Accessibility subcommittee meeting tomorrow, Thursday 30November

Greetings,

I'm back after two weeks away traveling, and another week of that 
quintessential American holiday which involves stuffing yourself (not to 
mention a turkey); and unfortunately I haven't managed to sync up with 
my co-chair Rich to figure out an agenda for a meeting this week.

However, since we don't yet have the draft of our Accessibility 
Guidelines back from the editor (promised by the end of they day 
tomorrow), and we further don't have a draft of ODF 1.2 to start 
reviewing, I suggest that we postpone our meeting to next week.

In the meantime, I invite everyone to review our updated web page (see 
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=office-accessibility), 
and send comments with any errors you find, or changes you would like to 
see.  Thanks to David Pawson for working up much of this text.

Also, I'd like to leave you with a bit of good news: Corel announced 
earlier today that the mid-2007 release of WordPerfect Office will 
support ODF.  See http://blogs.sun.com/korn/date/20061129 for details.
