[nabs-l] Accessible option to When is Good or a Google Docs Spreadsheet

[Chris Nusbaum]

Kaiti,

If I'm understanding what you want to do correctly, doodle.com should work
for this. Doodle is a free and accessible scheduling tool which allows you
to create a "poll" for an event and invite people to it via email. When the
people you invite receive the invitation email from Doodle, they can click
on a link which takes them to a page where they can select the best time for
them. This is especially useful for scheduling meetings and similar events.
If you have any questions about Doodle, please let me know either on-list or
off.

HTH,

Chris

Subject: [nabs-l] Accessible option to When is Good or a Google Docs
Spreadsheet

Hi all,

This may be a long shot, but any information or suggestions would be
appreciated.  I recently was given an appointed position in a fraternity,
which involves coordinating events and making sure enough people are signed
up to cover all of them through the semester.  I'm trying to think ahead
about it so that when I need to start coordinating later in the summer I'll
possibly have an accessible way that will work for me and everyone.

I would like to find a way of creating something that I can send out to the
entire fraternity that will update as each member signs up for their event
shifts.  I've been on the receiving end of Google Doc spread sheets and When
is Good forms so I know for sighted people they work, but my main concern is
being able to make something like this and set it up.  Would you guys happen
to know of something that serves a similar function, but has a set up
process which is accessible with Jaws?

My back up plan is just to make a spreadsheet on my computer, bring it to
the first meeting of next semester, and have people sign up in the document
itself, then go home afterwards and email it so everyone has access to the
final copy.  Then they could email me with any changes or substitutions they
want to make.  I realize this might be the best way for me to do it, and it
would certainly ensure that everyone signed up, but if there are any online
alternatives like When is Good I would like to consider them.

Thanks,
