Subject: Seeking possible tasks for Dueling Operating Systems at CSUN



I am moderating an event called Dueling Operating Systems at the CSUN
conference next week.  Three users of an operating system and screen
reader
combination will compete for a couple hours:  Windows with JAWS, the
Mac with VoiceOver, and Gnome/Unix with Orca.

We agreed to develop a long list of possible tasks that would each take
from about 3 to 5 minutes using software that comes with the operating
system, except for JAWS and Microsoft Office.  Either I or others I enlist
would pick a selection of tasks from the list at the actual event.
Each task should be described in a general enough way so that someone can
choose the application and screen reader techniques that achieve the same
result.

If anyone has suggestions about possible tasks to include on the list, I
welcome such input.

Jamal
