Tom,

Have the visual elements been removed? I played the file and there was none. BTW, thanks for adding this.

This is perhaps a good example of how documentation could also be developed for accessibility purposes with "voice" files. It would just be a matter of finding members willing to read/record our completed docs and making them available on our site.

Cheers,

Marc

Hi :)

The guide sounds good to me so i added it to the page
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications#Video_Tutorials

The other points made to the marketing list might also be good for the docs 
team to know of, even though they don't have time to make use of it.  Perhaps 
it might be a way of getting more people interested in working with the Docs 
Team.  The docs team put better support covering accessibility issues on their 
wiki wish-list right back in the beginning but the team needs more people 
actively contributing (rather than just lurkers like me).  So, i have cc'd this 
to the docs team


Something that does worry me a little is that the visual element is blatantly 
done by Microsoft products.  Could these be changed for something else?  
Perhaps a slide-show?  Perhaps screen-shots?  Perhaps video for those that are 
sighted?

Anyhow, even despite my minor petty quibble i thought the guide was fantastic to link to 
from the "Publications" page :D  Good work!! :)
Regards from
Tom :)

Sorry, I forgot to add three more ways we can contribute to the ongoing 
marketing effort:

3.  We have a good number of ORCA spoken tutorials to help on the topic of 
accessibility.  The tutorial relevant to LibreOffice is 
http://www.che.iitb.ac.in/faculty/km/08-orca_word-processor.mp3.  It is one of 
10+ tutorials on ORCA.  As this were made a few years ago, OO is explained.  We 
are in the process of remaking these tutorials, as apparently, some things have 
changed in the way ORCA is distributed.  When we make them again, we can 
explain LibreOffice instead.  We have amongst our team Krishnakant Mane, a 
visually impaired FOSS expert, who worked closely with the ORCA team and 
developed these tutorials.

4.  We can provide free dubbing rights to those who want to dub spoken 
tutorials on LibreOffice.  We can train the interested people how to do the 
dubbing.  We require, however, that the video is not changed and that the end 
users are not charged.  We also give honorarium to anyone from anywhere who can 
help with the dubbing in India's 20+ official languages 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_with_official_status_in_India).  
Interestingly, a few languages spoken in India are used in neighbouring 
countries also - Urdu: Pakistan, Nepali: Nepal, Bengali: Bangladesh, Tamil: Sri 
Lanka.

5.  We can help train those who want to organise workshops using spoken 
tutorials, available at http://spoken-tutorial.org.  This service is also 
offered free of cost.

Regards,

Kannan

As I don't know in what form additions or modifications are expected on this 
wiki page, I am writing to the list.  As at present we have an Indian 
Government supported project to promote FOSS, we can contribute to the ongoing 
marketing effort in the following two ways:

1.  Our artists can help create the artwork, required for banners, brochures, 
etc.  We use GIMP.  Because of the distances, however, it is not clear how 
effective this will be.

2.  If ever there is a marketing effort by mailing CDs, we can participate in 
it by sending free CDs within India.  Please note that many people in India do 
not have access to good bandwidth and hence depend on such offline promotional 
material.  It will not, however, be possible for us to send the CDs overseas, 
although, it may be possible to send one or two bulk mailings.

Regards,

Kannan

I will be adding the result of the other mailing lists in the next day or less.
