For the record, on 5/22/00 at SRI, Dr. Engelbart introduced us to Cynthia
D. Waddell, (ADA Coordinator, City of San Jose) since we're planning on
incorporating her ADA design guidance into the OHS/DKR handbook.

Ongoing collaboration for developing new high performance multi-modal
capabilities, including a Total Access System (TAS), and Alternative
Interactive Interface Protocol (AIIP) will be based on Neil Scott's
Archimedes project at Stanford.

Hello everyone,
This is a reminder about the meeting at the Archimedes Project on
Thursday March 16.
---------------------------------------------------
Date: March 16, 2000
Time: 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Place: Cordura Hall -- located at the corner of Campus Drive West and
Panama St.
Purpose: Establishing a Global Dynamic Knowledge Repository for
information about technologies related to disability and aging.
The goal of this meeting is to explore how we could demonstrate Doug's
concepts of a DKR and bootstrapping in a neutral environment. The
results of this activity could impact the lives of millions of people
all around the world.
We will begin the meeting with an overview of our user interface
research and some hands-on demos and then have a discussion about how to
set up a framework for global collaboration in this field
RSVP: Neil Scott <ngscott@arch.stanford.edu> (Please email me if you
need more instructions for finding Cordura Hall)

Hope to see you Thursday
Neil
Here is a copy of the original message ----
The Archimedes Project at Stanford developed the Total Access System
(TAS) that Doug has referred from time-to-time. Originally conceived as
a way to enable disabled and aging people to work with any computer
based equipment, it is becoming recognized as a productivity tool that
makes interacting with a computer easier for everyone. In 1997, Discover
Magazine selected TAS as one of the five top innovations in computer
engineering for 1997 in its Annual Discover Awards.
During the past year we have been getting requests from universities and
research centers around the world for help in setting up similar
projects. This prompted us to establish an "Archimedes International"
organization that will help groups in emerging countries become
effective as quickly as possible. As part of these activities, we are
proposing to build a global DKR about technologies related to
disabilities and aging. We think this is an ideal opportunity to
implement bootstrap principles. We see three primary goals in this
process: (i) share existing knowledge, (ii) help participants to use
this knowledge to create indigenous versions of current accessibility
products, and (iii) involve the overseas participants as active partners
in new research as quickly as possible.
Achieving these goals will require strong collaborative tools on the Web
and a DKR that works for different languages and Cultures.
The Archimedes Project will host a meeting at Cordura Hall on March 16,
4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. to introduce you to our research and try some
hands-on demonstrations, and to discuss the possibility of developing a
prototype DKR that will help disabled and aging populations around the
world as well as the people who support them.
Date: March 16, 2000
Time: 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Place: Cordura Hall -- located at the corner of Campus Drive West and
Panama St.
