Hi all,
Those of you considering WayFinder Access may find the below article
instructive. Remember, that heavy data usage only takes place if you
use the map view of WFA since graphics are downloaded to your phone.
If you only plot routes and just use the views such as the "guide
view" and "itinerary view", data usage is not significant.

Hi Friends - Sometimes when I key the email id of anyone while
composing a message from the Google website, another email id
automatically inserts in the field.
Additionally, while writing the message body, my computer hangs and
consequently I miss the half-written part as I need to turn the
machine off.
Please tell me any solutions for both the aforementioned queries.
Eager for an early reply

Hai:
Pl find the questions below and answer them asap:
What is WIPO?
Are you the only org in the country collecting signature to support the
treaty?
Which gov you are planning to submit this to: state or central?
Who are your other supporters in India: you may perhaps mention a few
prominent ones?
What do you think a sig campaign would achieve, besides, perhaps,
bringing awareness?
Already, Google had problems with orgs like The Author's Guild in
scanning and putting copyrighted books online. We have also heard
problems (or fears) the authors may have regarding the impact of any
concession that may reduce their royalty. (Since I haven't gone through
the full treaty) Pl explain how the WIPO treaty is proposing to handle
this?
This looks like an international initiative. How relevant it will be for
India? Do you think changes will be made to accommodate the treaty more
to Indian conditions?

Subject: [AI] Invitation to national policy on digital access meeting
Appeal for Web Accessibility
Dear Friends,
The internet has brought with it a fresh breath of life and energy into
the lives of disabled persons throughout the world. More than others, it
has enabled and liberated them in the most complete sense of the words
and succeeded in elevating levels of independence, competence and
confidence. Like any other technology however this comes with its
bundle of problems. Thankfully for us, a large part of this can be
solved by merely setting some minimum standards in place at no extra
cost or effort.
For any technology to be completely useful, it has to fall into the
criteria of - utility, usability, affordability, acceptance and
accessibility. Unfortunately, while the internet can solve most of the
access to information challenges faced by disabled persons, the hurdles
in the form of navigation or comprehension problems pose as severe
barriers to placing complete reliance on it as a tool for managing one's
work and academic pursuits for visually and print disabled persons. To
help better understand the issue, given below are some features which
are quite problematic for persons with visual and reading disabilities.
They are accompanied by some simple solutions which can be easily
incorporated by web page creators right from the very beginning.
Web pages often contain images and graphics which cannot be discerned by
screen readers- text descriptions and explanations can be provided for
these; creation of links to skip to content can provide a huge relief
for persons using screen readers from listening to a whole lot of
useless or confusing content; there should be key board alternatives
for every function which has to be executed with a mouse; links without
references such as "click here" or links without any specific
destination should be avoided; creators of web pages should not rely
upon colours to convey meanings; since screen readers read content as it
is in the code, web page creators should ensure that content is read
correctly in the page as well as in the code.
By adherence to web accessibility standards, these problems can be
avoided. A lot of countries in the world like USA, UK, Canada, Australia
and many more have enacted legislations to make it mandatory for
creators of web pages to follow the minimum standards for web page
accessibility adopted by those countries. India has ratified the UN
Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in October 2007.
Unfortunately however, no move has been made till date to adopt or make
mandatory web accessibility guidelines in our country. Consequently, a
lot of government and private web sites are in accessible for persons
with disabilities, defeating the very purpose of ICT for development.
Considering these factors, we think it is high time that we make a
concerted effort towards enabling a more inclusive on line environment
for all. Adopting a web accessibility standard does not merely make the
web more accessible to disabled persons, it makes navigation and
operation easier for everyone. The W3C has come out with a web
accessibility standard called the WCAG (Web Content Accessibility
Guidelines) which has been adopted by many countries. This makes the
tasks of the countries easier in the sense that they have already a
ready framework and guidelines available to work with.
We solicit your active support and presence in this movement for
enabling mandatory adherence to web accessibility standards in India.
You are invited to join the google group for a national policy for E
Access at http://groups.google.com/group/e-access.We are planning to
have a meeting of all interested parties and organizations who are
committed to supporting this cause on the date and venue given below.
We request you to attend along with other supporters.

The best solution is cut pasting the message from a word doc to Gmail
'compose' form. I have felt several times it isn't all that comfortable
to work with forms mode on. And you tend to lose the typed message and
have to do it all over again. Of-late, I extensively use word doc to
compose messages.
