Re: WCAG A11Y DPUB techniques

Hi George, we assigned Flash to Livio, who thought they were all relevant but you think we shouldn’t bother with Flash for DPUB at all?  Don’t you think some publishers may want to publish some Flash content in their web-based publication?

We need to discuss the items that we feel are not required for DPUB and those we still had questions about so we can determine if they are relevant or not to DPUB.  Hopefully we can discuss these at our next meeting.  I will send out a reminder and hopefully a new time slot for this Friday if we can get the phone system switched over in time to host our call.
