Lots of typos :( (I'll use preview button next time)

the first item in the agenda (1) it says "Dave emailed Release Notes to Carl, it'll be published soon"

I also forgot to say that we hace .LRN Zen, Translation server and Nima's commit on agenda for next week

I have already done a big chunk for OACS, just fine tuning it now and have questions for the community.

I've created a wiki page for .lrn 2.3 releases management (https://openacs.org/xowiki/.LRN_2.3). Please review it.

Hi Nima,

In past .LRN meetings it has been decided to include your changes for .LRN 2.4 (HEAD).

.LRN 2.3 will focus on accessibility (Zen project is part of that work) and we want to release it early march.

However, part of your changes might be included in 2.3 release. If you could provide us with a detailed list of these, it could be discussed at the next .lrn meeting.

We will be on a very tight schedule for zen so our ambitions will be a bit lower than you might like.

Also something that's crucial for us is that our HTML meets the accessibility standard required by the EU.

We're looking at a march release i.e. 10-week timeframe.

I agree overall with many of your comments in the thread i.e. OACS itself must be easier themed. I'll think a bit and then answer more of your points over in that thread.

I have a couple of questions about the new and improved accessible styling (which I think is a very important project). Is it going to be applied accross all of the themes or only to Theme Selva?

Is there a document outlining the main components which need to be changed to make them Accesssiblity compliant?

Also, to customise the look of an accessible theme (for company branding etc.), would the best plan to be modifying the CSS directly?

Cheers,
Matthew

Sorry, I got a bit eager with my questions, most have been answered by reading up on the Zen project. It looks great, particularly the mobile stylesheet. My one concern is still about company branding but I'm sure that can be managed once the theme is complete.

Looking forward to trying this out for myself.
