RE: Issue papers

I could possibly try to do #6 – Web of Things – but I wouldn’t be able to start until the week after next because of off-site meeting all next week.
Thanks and best wishes

Hi Folks

We are looking for more volunteers to write up interesting issue papers. We could do with volenteers for the follwoing topics:

  1.  Interoperable symbols for non verbal
  2.  How to provide help scaffolding
  3.  A global set of simple terms and words, with associated symbols, translations and explanations that can be linked to as concepts via an aria attribute (lisa is happy to do this one)
  4.  Menus and navigation
  5.  Simplifying tasks and content
  6.  Use the Web of Things applications such as temperature control, entertainment systems
  7.  Gathering user preferences

The template is at See http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-cognitive-a11y-tf/2014Oct/att-0054/COGAIssuePaperTemplate.html.
