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?

Subject: What Is a JAWS Issue?


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.
