[nabs-l] Accessible web calendars

[Kaiti Shelton]

Hi,

I didn't think to try the Outlook calendar; that might work at least
for some of it.  Someone else suggested making an excel sheet and
uploading it to dropbox too, then emailing links out to everyone
though.  The one hesitation I had about using that was concerning
collaborations; I'm not sure if I upload it and someone else makes a
change, signs up for the events they want to work or something, then
will the next person see those changes or will it just be the original
document I created?  Any thoughts?

If the dropbox thing would work out and I could use that as my cloud
that would solve everything and make life much easier, but I also
started looking into the accessibility of spreadsheets in Google Docs
last night, but it looks like Google's built in their own screenreader
support with their own hotkeys so that might be tricky to work with.
I'm planning on trying that out over the weekend with JAWS and NVDA
since something I read actually made it sound like NVDA might be the
easier screenreader to use.  Brandon, if you would like the
information including the hotkey list that I've found thus far for
Google Docs Spreadsheets I would be happy to send it to you off list.

Worst case scenario, I figure I could just send out a mass email
telling people to bring their calendars to our meeting, then have the
spreadsheet up and ready to go for people to sign up for events before
and after the meeting.  Then I can send out the spreadsheet in another
email for people to download from dropbox so they would all have a
copy.  Again though if we could do everything using Dropbox as our
cloud that would be fantastic.
