[10:04:07 CDT(-0500)] <michelled> alexn1: what browser/platform did you decide to start with for you testing?

[10:04:40 CDT(-0500)] <alexn1> FF in the latest Windows

[10:05:12 CDT(-0500)] <alexn1> I was thinking to do the testing using Firefox and then do tests in IE writing any found issues down as IE specific ones

[10:06:02 CDT(-0500)] <michelled> ok, I'll start with Safari

[11:53:04 CDT(-0500)] <alexn1> michelled, anastasiac: I'm doing the accessibility and inclusivity testing for OER commons website and I just noticed that we missed couple of pages when we were looking for UIO options tweaks.

[11:53:44 CDT(-0500)] <alexn1> our initial time assessment for the changes we need to make could be bigger than we anticipated

[14:22:39 CDT(-0500)] <michelled> cindyli: let me know when you're back and we can chat

[14:23:18 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> as greggy has told me - I'm back now

[14:23:48 CDT(-0500)] <michelled> are you working at home today?

[14:24:16 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> yes, michelled

[14:24:28 CDT(-0500)] <michelled> ah, ok

[14:24:49 CDT(-0500)] <michelled> cindyli: alexn1 and I have been testing the oercommons site from an a11y perspective

[14:25:06 CDT(-0500)] <michelled> cindyli: can you start looking at it in IE8 with a screen reader?

[14:25:20 CDT(-0500)] <michelled> cindyli: we are compiling our findings on this wiki page: http://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/OER+Commons+Accessibility+Testing+Results

[14:25:26 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> sure, michelled, a11y branch?

[14:25:41 CDT(-0500)] <michelled> cindyli: no, the staging.oercommons.org site

[14:25:51 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> ah, ok

[14:25:55 CDT(-0500)] <michelled> please add anything you find to the wiki page

[14:26:00 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> sure

[14:26:08 CDT(-0500)] <michelled> and you'll probably need to specify the browser

[14:26:12 CDT(-0500)] <michelled> thanks!

[14:26:16 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> no problem

[14:28:40 CDT(-0500)] <michelled> cindyli: can you make sure that as part of your tests you create a complete OER and test the a11y of the published material?

[14:29:38 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> ok, michelled, is there a common user for creating OER content or I register my own?

[14:33:21 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> nvm, michelled, i've registered my own user

[14:44:46 CDT(-0500)] <greggy> cindyli: did you receive a confirmation email when you registered woth OERC

[14:44:55 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> yes, greggy

[14:45:54 CDT(-0500)] <greggy> hmm? something seems broken. Tried twice, both time no confirmation.

[14:47:09 CDT(-0500)] <cindyli> greggy: with http://staging.oercommons.org/ site?

[14:49:53 CDT(-0500)] <greggy> k, stage works, but www does not FYI

[14:53:12 CDT(-0500)] <michelled> greggy: they probably only allow some people to sign up

[14:54:23 CDT(-0500)] <greggy> michelled: I seem to have logged in access, I just did not receive the confirmation it said it sent. No big deal, but perhaps a bug.

[14:54:42 CDT(-0500)] <michelled> ok, good to know
