Suggestion: I would like to add a function to upload product roadmaps or type in updates or vendor responses somewhere other than the executive summary. Either have the reviewer, tester, and admin do it or perhaps create a vendor role (as discussed).
I'd also like a text entry section for "known/suggested workarounds" -- sort of like UC Boluder does it.
I would also recommend replacing Policy 188 with WCAG 2.0AA (since those are the 188 standards and more universally recognized).
Notes from our meeting (thanks, Amy!!):
* Ideas/Suggestions
* Add a vendor role?? Or at least a contact line, “if you are a vendor and would like your product test, please contact…” Perhaps a note: “Nothing will be tested unless there is an active user…”
* Notify vendors of posting (marketing potential for company)
* Offer Appeal Process
* Here are results and here is vendor’s response (roadmap) - let them participate
* GIve them the ability to highlight when they make improvements in a newer version?
* Ward - build so vendors can view their products, add comments, not open initially - but built in so can launch when needed.
* Who sees it? Just trusted testers? Etc.?
* EDUCAUSE what the standards are so all vendors can design to the same standards (WCAG 2.0 AA?)
* For credibility - want partnership with WebAim (accessibility guru) or WCET (policy, rep in DC) for trusted tester training/consultant to show credible
* CATO act as beta User testers
* WCAG AAA (required by Ward)
* Accessible AND usable
* Consider scaling
* Quick review option for when considering software purchase?
