Re: What Is a JAWS Issue?

     If someone wants to know how to set up a filter for his/her e-mail
program, then this would fit the list guidelines?  If someone wanted
instructions on how to burn a cd, this would fit the list guidelines?
If someone wanted to know how to shoutcast with Winamp, this would fit
the list guidelines?  Maybe we all should see the rules again.  There
should be a mission statement regarding the list's intentions.  Bruce
brings up a good point.

    Like Yardbird, I bridle at issue being used as a synonym for
problem. It 
    is a therapy word. I once heard a therapist describe a patient as
having 
    an issue with his arm and another with his quadriceps, then "Oh, he
has 
    an issue with getting a ride here."
    
    It is useful to find out what versions of what particular
application 
    work with JAWS, especially since there no decipherable
consistencies. 
    Then there are questions about how to make a program work, menu
items, 
    hot keys, etc. What should be out of bounds are questions that have 
    nothing to do with computers, but are blindness related.
    
    There was talk about "skins" this morning, and I haven't the
slightest 
    idea what that means. It's not a JAWS issue or problem, so should
the 
    kibosh be put on the string?

    It might be a prudent move on the part of list management to again 
    define
    what constitutes a JAWS issue. There are several schools of thought 
    here.
    One is that if you're trying to use it with JAWS, it is a JAWS
issue. 
    This
    would mean that any software issue whatsoever is up for discussion.
Then
    there are narrower views. List management should, in my view, define
    things relatively clearly and be consistent in enforcement of those
    definitions.
