I had made the FM help file set net accessible *primarily* with
Al in mind. I see that Scott has further expanded the access to them
via http://www.slcc.edu/lynx/fote/ Have you even looked at them yet,
Al? Have you?!?!?
Yes, thank you. I have not been keeping up with your Help files by
download, so I think this is very valuable.
Did you make a separate zip of them? I thought you had done that
for my benefit and I searched all over and didn't find them.
I must have misunderstood "and then I made another zip..."
The implication that Lynx development during the past three years
has not had a "policy commitment" to helping meet needs of the blind is
preposterous. There's no other word for it -- preposterous!!
There were two parts to my suggestion. OK, your heart is in the
right place. Why not follow through and let us clean up the Help
file formatting. The top-level page doesn't make a reasonable
accomodation. It list multiple acronyms as links on one line.
Acronyms are a real barrier for the speech accessor, and multiple
links on a line is not so hot. Both of these impediments could
be removed without materially degrading the service to sighted
users.
Have you read the guidelines to merit a ribbon? Do you think
that page passes? Get real, man!
I have repeatedly pointed out to the blind users I know that you
have over and over again gone out of your way to facilitate use
by the blind and visually impaired.
Burnout, sigh... I need more than a vacation! I need to
NOT_DEFINE myself to an INN. :) :) :) ;(
Get a grip. Let the product go through an open, objective
evaluation on the way to release.
