Page of info for elderly
Apr 6 2008, 2:44 PM EDT | Post edited: Apr 6 2008, 2:44 PM EDT
If just created a page of info for those attending the 'Computing for the terrified' course I'm doing at Age Concern Exeter. It occurred to me that some of it would be useful as a general page here (you know age related disability)

What does the team think?

To answer my own question, I guess this is largely 'off topic' for this wiki.

makes me wonder about the scope boundaries. Certainly accessibility should be included, and age related adjustments. Do you find this valuable?

Yes I think this would be a great idea - I spoke to Nancy at age Concern yesterday and we are keen to make the wiki available to Digital Inclusion Network members - If I set up a stub are you happy to populate ? Do you find this valuable?

Yes, great
So you just want the more AT/a11y related items? Or more general age related stuff too?
I'm not completely clear on the focus of this wiki yet. Do you find this valuable?

I think its about putting the more AT items into the main page - perhaps some of the additonal info could be on spin off pages from the stub page

We can integrate some of the AT references to other pages as well Do you find this valuable?
