Scott, I find your tone both patronising and unpleasant. It maybe that blind and sighted people conferring over pages is a minor issue. My clients have learning or cognitive disabilities. They almost always require some kind of advice. The opportunity the web offers already to provide precis or summaries is woderful. However we need to bear in mind that should different versions of the same text be offered they remain so. jay@peepo.com Jonathan Chetwynd Special needs teacher / web accessibility consultant education and outreach working group member, web accessibility initiative, W3C ----- Original Message ----- From: Scott Luebking <phoenixl@netcom.com> To: <charles@w3.org>; <jay@peepo.com>; <phoenixl@netcom.com> Cc: <nir@nirdagan.com>; <w3c-wai-gl@w3.org> Sent: Sunday, January 23, 2000 10:00 PM Subject: Re: some references on user need assessment > Hi, Jonathan > > User needs assessment is a rather complicated topic.
