Sun Microsystems requested to carry out research for the proposed development
of an Accessibility Guide for the flagship desktop product, GNOME on the
Solaris operating platform.
The investigation into the extensive
existing and developing assistive technology, and the desktop

in the delivery of the completed draft in XML using StarOffice and Abortext
AdeptEditor.
Selected additional documents were
transformed to SGML, and SGML Man Pages converted to XML.
Contributions were also made to the
Sun Corporate Editorial Standards, Quality Procedures, GNOME
2.0 on Solaris
User Guide, GNOME Documentation Style Guide, and the
GNOME Technical Writers Forum.

Testimonial
"Gordon worked with my company, Golitho Consultants, as part of a consultancy
project for Sun Microsystems, based at East Point in Dublin.
Gordon was primarily assigned
to research the requirements for an Accessibility Guide for
a new desktop. He also worked
on other documentation requirements associated with the
new desktop, as required.
Under my project leadership
and guidance, he worked on the following specific items:
-
• GNOME 2.0 on Solaris
Accessibility Guide Documentation Plan
-
• GNOME 2.0 on Solaris
Accessibility Guide (draft 1)
-
• Testing and quality
assurance of online user guide information
-
• Accessibility-related
topics for the online user guide
-
• Conversion of SGML
Man Pages to XML
Gordon proved to be a willing
colleague. I recommend him and wish him the best of luck
in his future career in the field."
