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
