Re: Notes for AUWG Teleconference on 27 August 2007 4:30pm-5pm ET (SPECIAL LATE START)

Barry has ok'd the definitions with the following minor changes in CAPS.

assistive technology
http://www.w3.org/WAI/AU/2007/WD-ATAG20-20070821/WD-ATAG20-20070821.html#def-assistive-technology

direct accessibility
Features of mainstream software applications and hardware that augment
accessibility by people with disabilities (e.g., keyboard navigation,
zoom functions, text-to-speech).

mainstream SOFTWARE APPLICATIONS AND HARDWARE - ALSO CALLED MAINSTREAM 
TECHNOLOGY
Software applications and hardware for which augmenting accessibility is
secondary to some other purpose (as opposed to assistive technology 
WHERE IT IS THE PRIMARY PURPOSE). Mainstream technologies may include 
direct accessibility features.


Cheers,
Jan
