Hadi reported on WebCT Vista 5 activities from an email from Robert
--WebCTs Vista 5.0 test server is not yet up.  Robert hopes that it will
be up soon.
--Testing of JAWS on the portions of Vista 5 available so far suggests
issues noticed in previous versions are still there.
--Window-Eyes and Narrator seem to work correctly on Vista 5

We would like to collect tips and tricks for using Vista
--Someone will need to spend some time working on this
--We would appreciate volunteers

We are just barely on the first page when searching for WebCT
Accessibility
--If members add links to our WebCT Vista Accessibility page we may be
able to move closer to the top.
--The site is:
http://cita.rehab.uiuc.edu/collaborate/webct/

We need to develop a protocol for testing.
        Do we want everyone to test everything or should we assign
sections to test?

We really need to have Robert to the next meeting.  Where should we go
from here?

We would like to have monthly meetings
--We may need to have more meetings during testing etc.
