For anyone with "copious free time." I downloaded the report (96K
text file) and can forward it to anyone who doesn't want to get it off
the web. I obtained it using Lynx 2.7 for DOS 386's, which is getting
better all the time.
This Java report gives a lot of specific info to Sun Micro Systems
regarding the accessibility of the language and of products
built with it. Along the way, it lays a framework for
classifying the accessibility of software and platforms that may be
useful in policy discussions. It is rather technical, but when did
that ever stop this committee? We may think we don't need to worry
much about Java now, but many in the industry think it will be more
important than HTML in a few years.

Subject: Report on Java Accessibility
Just a quick note to say that a draft of the final report to Sun
Microsystems on our first project reviewing accessibility issues
surrounding Java and making recommendations which would increasing the
accessibility of applications developed with it is now up on our web site.
You can find a copy of the report at:
http://trace.wisc.edu/java/report.htm
There will also be a paper on this topic given at the CSUN Conference this
week.
As always, all input and comments are welcome and invited.
