Re: Selecting Authoring Tools - needs

Agree to use the repo -- can use the wiki in the repo.

I think we are talking about 2 different things:
1. people purchasing and using authoring tools
2. people developing authoring tools

I think this resource was primarily for #1.

We might want different material for #2. fyi, We did a promotion campaign for this audience a while back <https://www.w3.org/WAI/EO/wiki/Outreach_for_ATAG_2.0> I think it would be good to do another.

I think we don't want the same resource for both audiences -- although I don't feel strongly at this point, and would be happy for the group to consider it.

Happy to discuss! That's what the Requirements Analysis is for -- to "get on the same page".

(Also, another thought I had "in the shower", was that maybe we don't need the sections "Limitations of Existing Authoring Tools" and "Examples of strategies to work around limitations of existing authoring tools" anymore? I did not read it to decide if I have a suggestion for or against. I just wanted to mention it so that you don't feel you *have* to keep that info...)

Looking forward to working on it with you and the group in a few days!

Cheers,
~Shawn

I'm happy enough to use the Wiki, but I'm thinking long term, it might be better if all the information was in one place, being able to see the discussion via issues, etc, rather than having multiple places to check for information about the document and the work being done.

Having been on the core team of a major FOSS CMS (Joomla!), and having interacted with many other teams working on other CMS, I can tell you that they have a lot of things to consider when it comes to accessible authoring tools. And with the reach they have, they are probably one of the most important target group to reach - For example, recent numbers show that WordPress is used on nearly 1/4 of all sites on the web.
