[nabs-l] accessibility of Share Point, One Note, and Voice Thread

[Julie McGinnity]

Thank you so much!  I'll talk to my boss about this.  Since my job is
all about testing accessibility, I think she would be very interested
to see me struggle with it.  :)  She said that if it's too much
struggle, she didn't want me to waste my time, but you're right about
the marketability.

I don't know a lot about SharePoint, but it is a program that allows
multiple people to view documents and edit them.  My boss wants to use
it so that we can see where we are with different tasks.
