Hi,

Please note that replies to the following should NOT be sent to the list.

I'm in the process of writing some additions to the DBT Help files, and am 
looking for a few willing volunteers with some time to spare.  I hasten to add 
that the work is unpaid, although it could be potentially rewarding, especially 
if you are learning DBT.  (Which is to a large extent the type of person the 
Help files are aimed at anyway!)  Expert users are also welcome.

I would appreciate help from both visually impaired and sighted users, since 
the aim of the Help files is to be as universal as possible.  Certainly here in 
the UK, the ratio is around 50-50.

Currently I'm looking for comments on simplified explanations about Templates, 
Styles and commonly used Codes.  How understandable are they?  How easy are 
they to navigate and read, both visually, with speech, and with a braille 
display?  (Though not necessarily all three together)  Can they be improved in 
any way?

What's involved?

From time to time, you will be sent a new helpfile.chm.  This is currently 
around 2 megabytes, though growing as new material is added.  You will need to 
rename your existing helpfile.chm, and put the new one in its place.  

New items will be flagged for you to review and comment on.  Responses are 
requested with 48 hours where possible, and will most likely require to be via 
a closed mailing list and discussion group.  This list will also be open to 
HTML format messages.

Confidentiality.

All material is confidential and should not be discussed or circulated outside 
of the review group and specified Duxbury employees without prior agreement.

If you are seriously interested, please drop a line to 
mailto:duxhelp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx  I would appreciate a little background, 
such as whether or not you are sighted, what kind of equipment you use Duxbury 
with, and what kind of braille material you produce.

Please, please don't feel offended if your application is turned down.  This 
will almost certainly only be due to the necessity to limit numbers.

All the best,

George Bell
