RE: EOWG Please reply about titles ideas for the "Experiences... Mobile Devices" document

Hi all,

I think that the title "Experiences Shared by People with Disabilities and by People Using Mobile Devices" implies broader context than the topic of the document.

It is stated in the document that it will present only "barriers to interacting with Web content experienced by people with disabilities and people using mobile devices".

My suggestion is to replace Experience by Barriers: "Barriers shared by PWD and users of mobile devices"

Thanks

Hi all,
I like the first title revision below.  I don't like the second suggested title revision.

EOWG,

At today's EOWG teleconference, we discussed the title for the document at <http://www.w3.org/WAI/mobile/experiences-new>
Because we need to decide on the title next week, by Fri 25 July, *please discuss ideas on the EOWG mailing list throughout the week*.

An initial suggestion:
* current wording: "Experiences Shared by People with Disabilities and by People Using Mobile Devices"
* an issue: At least one key person misread the title and assumed the document was about the experiences of people with disabilities using mobile devices. I wonder if switching the order would help limit this misunderstanding? Also, I think it might get broader reading and attention by putting "mobile" first, especially since it is a WAI page.
* suggested revision: "Experiences Shared by People Using Mobile Devices and by People with Disabilities"

Additional ideas from EOWG:
* Have short "handle", or title & subtitle
* Clarify that the document talks about people _without_ disabilities who are using mobile devices and the similarities of people with disabilities who are using desktop or laptop computers -- so reader don't think it's about people with disabilities who are using mobile devices
* Specific ideas in the 18 July draft minutes:
http://www.w3.org/2008/07/18-eo-minutes#item03
* Previous EOWG discussion of the title, 4 January:
http://www.w3.org/2008/01/04-eo-minutes#item04

Here is another idea for discussion:
* Shared Experiences: People Using Mobile Devices similar to People with Disabilities

Regards,
~Shawn
