[g-a-devel] Assistive Technology Development Tools Satisfaction Survey (fwd)

[Mike Gorse <mgorse novell com>]

Just passing this on--some of the language is geared towards commercial AT 
vendors, but it does ask about Linux tools, and part of the goal is to 
identify what works well on various platforms and can be used as a 
positive example.

                                                                 TO:  All Assistive Technology Developers


                                                                                      


  This survey is being conducted by the Accessibility Interoperability Alliance, the technical division of ATIA.  It is a critical first step toward an ultimate goal to
improve the accessibility of mainstream software applications. We will achieve this goal by communicating to application developers key do's and don'ts as well as advising
 the accessibility architect community on the common struggles of providing access to mainstream software. Ultimate success of this effort hinges on the knowledge of those
                                               most intimate with the topic of software accessibility, you the AT developer.

                                       This beginning step is the first of four phases of our effort. The four phases are as follows:

                 Phase 1: (This survey) Identify which aspects of accessibility technologies are important for creating AT products that users can rely on.

                                        Phase 2 (if needed): Follow-up with AT developers to get specifics of the top problem areas.

                                                         Phase 3: Present findings and conclusions to ATIA members.

               Phase 4: Influence the application developer community by publishing examples of best practices, and specific areas that need more investment.

We expect that you are interested in the success of this initiative as it leads to the success of your products. Having said that, please know that we are aware of, and are
                                                 highly sensitive to the need to protect proprietary knowledge. Therefore,


                                                                                      


     We ask that you respond to this survey by Friday, April 29 2011 and pass it along to other colleagues within your organization who play a role in the development
                                                                              process.    


                                                                                      


                                                                              Take the survey.


                                                                                      

                                                       this survey does not ask you for any proprietary information.
                                                                                      
Thank you for taking the time to complete this questionnaire. Depending on your experience with AT technologies, we estimate this survey will take from 10 to 30 minutes to
                                                                                 complete.






                             Thank your customer, tell them how valuable they are to you, but don't go overboard. Insincerity is easy to spot.

 
Sincerely,
