Re: Public announcements for CTAUR

Thanks, Scott. This looks like a great start to me. Please check in the
RQTF call with others. I will regretfully miss tomorrow's call, as I'll
be at M-Enabling for some scheduled in person meetings.

If memory serves we agreed last week the comment deadline should be
Friday 30 December at 23:59 Boston Time.

Best,

Janina

> This document outlines various accessibility-related user needs, requirements and scenarios for collaboration tools. The tools of interest are distinguished by their support for one or more specific collaborative features. These features include real-time editing of content by multiple authors, the use of comments or annotations, and revision control. A Web-based text editor or word processor offering all of these features would be a central example of such a collaboration tool.
> 
> The accessibility-related user needs and corresponding requirements described in this document may be implemented in the collaboration tool itself, or elsewhere, for example in an assistive technology such as a screen reader. The scope of the discussion is not limited to problems that can be solved in the design or implementation of the collaboration tool. Instead, a holistic approach is taken that gives foremost priority to the user's perspective, leading to the identification of solutions that may be implemented by different components of the software involved in performing a collaborative task.
> 
> Although the user needs and associated requirements identified in this document are not normative accessibility guidance, they may influence the evolution of future accessibility guidelines, technical specifications, or features of collaboration tools and assistive technologies. They are relevant to software developers who contribute to any of these aspects of the collaborative experience
