[nfbcs] Basecamp and Sitemason Accessibility

[Doug Lee]

I've never seen that feature in Basecamp, if that's what you're
talking about. My experience with Basecamp is limited to its use for
tracking projects, time for billing, company directory of sorts, and
project time report generation.

Hello Doug,

Thanks for the response -- your personal experience is the exact type
of response I'm looking for. Do you have any experience editing text
and specifically, comparing different versions and edits with the
writeboards? You can use writeboards to format and share text within a
project. My concern comes when "comparing" different versions at once:
when comparing two different edits, a lot of information is displayed
graphically such as strikes for deleted text, different colors
indicating what's been changed or added, etc.
