Hello all,
As you know, Microsoft is claiming that Massachusett's move to
OpenDocment would present a problem for people with disabilities. I
think their argument is based on the premise that all applications
that can read ODF are unable to address disabilities.
Could someone help me respond to this?
Can someone point me to factual information as to how OOo or
StarOffice accomodates disabilities? Especially *blind* people, as
that seems to be the core of Microsoft's argument.
Daniel:
Someone should get you a pointer to the UNO Accessibility API info,
which shows that an extensive infrastructure for disability support is
built into OOo. Also a pointer to Sun's StarOffice Sanity Test Suite
would be helpful. (Sun guys, I know we've published these test suites
for the rest of Gnome/JDS already so there's no reason not to publish
this one as well). That test suite includes blind user scenario testing
with speech and braille output on the JDS platform, on both Linux and
the Solaris operating systems.
If someone can point me to the OOo accessibility test suite info I can
add it to the Gnome tests.
Bill
I will get this information to Peter Quinn so he can support the
OpenDocument decision on Monday's meeting.
Your help would be most appreciated.
Cheers,
Daniel.
