Skype screen sharing question
by Christian 23 Oct '19

23 Oct '19

Hi all, This may be a little off topic, but I was just wondering if anyone has used the screen sharing feature in Skype? The reason I am asking is because a sighted person is going to look at my screen but I do not need to have control over his computer and he was wondering if I could use this feature. I have used Teamviewer but not this. So do you have any experience with this or do you recommend something else? Many thanks, Christian

VSphere.
by Darragh Ó Héiligh 23 Oct '19

23 Oct '19

Hello, Is there anyone on this list working with VSphere or dabbling from time to time? I'm still using the installed client but that is fast being removed. Last time I looked at the HTML5 interface, it wasn't great. So I'm wondering if there have been any improvements and / or is there anyone engaging with VMware? I don't have any contacts with VMware at the moment. So I cant push any questions any further than standard support channels. Please don't recommend power shell as an administration tool, this isn't currently viable for my needs. Thanks Darragh

Remote desktop gateway role accessibility.
by Darragh Ó Héiligh 22 Oct '19

22 Oct '19

I had a bright idea earlier to install the remote desktop gateway on Windows 2016. But it doesn't appear that the web UI is accessible. Jaws simply can't read anything in that interface. Has anyone encountered this?

Hi Billy, I haven't tried the server editions of Ubuntu but if they work like their debian versions you can hit s when the disk boots. then speakup should come up talking. Debian installations work very well and i have done those a few times. though i left most settings at their standards. You would need to have your server physically in front of you and you need a head phone jack there. But you can also connect a braille display to it and use the install that way. brltty comes up automatically and should detect your display.

Hi, Debian is talking/working for us for years. Boot the debian disk. Then wait until you hear beeps or just wait a few seconds on a virtual machine. then hit s and then enter. then speakup should come up talking.

I don't have any extra physical boxes here to try either server edition out on. Thanks. Dave.

Accessible project management tools.
by Darragh Ó Héiligh 29 Aug '19

29 Aug '19

Hello, I'm looking for a project management tool and I'm hoping someone here might have a suggestion. MS Project isn't a viable option at the moment. Required features: * Add contributors from within and outside this organization. * Standard fields such as task name, dependency, assigned to, start date, end date, total time, complete. * Add notes to tasks. * Highlight tasks assigned to the user. * Must be fully accessible. * Preferably web based. Any ideas? Thanks Darragh

Normally it should work. Though it might be getting some conflicts when multiple people try to save the file. But that's a windows problem in general i guess. There is also an android app that seems to be pretty accessible. so you could drop the database on dropbox or google drive and might access it from there. though i don't know if that would work.

As far as I know this does not support multiple users accessing one store. I've also had good success with 1Password which has local and cloud options. This does have a version that allows multiple people to access one store.
