Re: ATools List - submit form

Hi Shawn,

Thanks for your email! 

> +1 [strong] for providing separate options for "I don't know" and "Not applicable" (per EOWG telecon today)

Thanks, an updated version of the page with tthese fields split out is currently on its way to Netlify for deployment,.

I'm worried that too many comments will make reviewing the list really difficult and make the comparing harder.

While I agree tool submitters probably have useful comments, I think the ideal for a user is less comments to read through. But that might also be something I can solve in the UI, we can hide it initially or something.

I'll think about this. 

> Maybe label the box "Comments" or "Additional Information" instead of "Description"?

My rationale here was that people are describing how the feature is implemented, rather than commenting. 

> Possibly we could make it optional for other options and required for "Partially" -- although I'm not sure it's worth that complexity. I think OK to be optional for Partially, too.

Hm, good point… thinking about it… maybe optionally will give most result? I guess we'd rather have people state a tool partially has a feature without comments than not at all?

> I don't think it's necessary to include the additional text ("You selected partial support. Partial support is better than no support at all! Please describe what your support looks like: “accessible templates are available, but it is really hard to find them.") -- it's not worth the added words *and* we don't want to have to write examples for each!

I'm trying to make it easy to understand what we want, and give people some direction of what an ideal submission looks like. I _think_ that could be done with one good example that is used across all different features.

I'll give this some more thought.

Much appreciated!
