Hi Rich,
The guidelines *are* in those formats; otherwise the
public review would not have been announced. See here:

Hi Rob,
We do not have the guidelines in those formats. We will need to produce them.
Thanks,

Hi Rich,
This is good news. Congratulations to the
subcommittee for reaching this milestone.
The TC policy says the following: "All
TC-approved versions of documents (i.e. Committee Drafts, Public Review Drafts,
and Committee Specifications) must be delivered to the TC’s document repository
in the (1) editable source, (2) HTML or XHTML, and (3) PDF formats."
Do you have copies of this candidate in these
other formats as well?
There has been some talk, but no formal plan,
around having an informative "Guide for Implementors", of which the
Accessibility Guidelines might feature. Other parts might be a Metadata
Guidelines, Spreadsheet Test Cases, etc. In fact, we were just talking about
this on the Metadata Subcommittee call earlier this week, where it was
suggested that we follow the same template as the Accessibility Guidelines in
order to make it easier to combine later.
ODF 1.2 schedule -- we're thinking Q2 for public
review & vote as OASIS Standard, followed by submission to JTC1. But note
that the Guide for Implementors can be done as a Committee Specification at any
time, and we probably won't submit that to JTC1.

Rob, Michael,
The ODF Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 (http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/office-accessibility/download.php/25664/ODF_Accessibility_Guidelines_v1.0-candidate.odt)
completed its public review on December 21 and no comments were received. The
group has voted that these guidelines be posted to the public OASIS web site
for ODF. If this requires Committee Specifcation Status we would ask that the
ODF TC vote on this.
What is the process moving forward so that we can get the guidelines public on
the OASIS site?
We are going to begin on a revised version of the guidelines targeted at ODF
1.2. Although the guidelines are non-normative Peter thought there would be a
bundling of the guidelines with a collection of documents related to ODF 1.2.
Is this true? We will need to know the timeline for 1.2. Looking at the ODF TC
internal site we have not seen a revision to the ODF 1.2 specification since
September so perhaps this has been pushed out. What is the timeline for ODF
1.2?
Thanks,
Rich
