Finally, the absence of accommodation for persons with disabilities has been falsely attributed to Santiago Calatrava's supposed desire for a more pure design. This is simply not true. A number of designs were proposed that would have accommodated the needs of persons with disabilities. The decision to eliminate these accessibility options was made by the Comune di Venezia, which considered its existing system of transport for persons with disabilities to be entirely adequate, requiring that no special provisions for access were needed on this bridge.

Sadly, the Authors Guild does not support equal access for us. The Guild has told us that to read your books with text-to-speech we must either submit to a burdensome special registration system and prove our disabilities -- or pay extra. The Guild's position is outrageous and discriminates against the millions of people with print disabilities who are eager to be your readers and customers.

"Draft only Subtitles translated from English. Showing Revision 0, created Yesterday by Zuzanna Bien . " Yesterday= June 11, 2012 Amara software added banner, disabled edit link, didn't add task Issue persists June 12, 2012

June 14, 2012: issue removed by Darren Bridenbeck (manual fix) Issue still persists for the subs: Spanish http://www.universalsubtitles.org/en/videos/v0NqTigKN0xa/es/333931/ Portuguese, Brazilian http://www.universalsubtitles.org/en/videos/v0NqTigKN0xa/pt-br/334822/ but possibly, their bookmarks didn't get transfered to this Multimedia accessibility group, so Darren Bridenbeck may not have seen them when he did the manual fixes yesterday.

"Draft only Subtitles translated from English. Showing Revision 0, created Today by Claude Almansi . " Today= June 12, 2012 Amara software added link, disabled Edit subtitles link, didn't create a task To be expected, but I tried nonetheless to start these French subs because the English subs miraculously escaped the Amara software's overriding the Music Captioning settings and imposing ghost tasks, even though I edited the English subs on June 8, 2012.

"Showing Revision 3, created Yesterday by Avatar of Claude Almansi . " Yesterday = June 9, 2011 (?) "Avatar of Claude Almansi" is not a member of the Occupy Wall Street team. When viewing these subs signed in as this Avatar, only "Revision 0 - 02/07/2012 - by Claude Almansi" was showing, made 4 months before the Amara software started taskblocking videos. There was a "Roll back to this version" button, so I used it to see what would happen. The reversion removed the "Draft only Showing Revision 2, created 06/07/2012 by Claude Almansi . " banner of the former revision and reactivated the formerly disabled Edit Subtitles link. Of course, it also suppressed the subs that had been added in Revisions 1 and 2. All revisions can be viewed by admins (perhaps also managers members) of the team but they cannot roll back to any of them. The task added by the Amara software to these subtitles at the time of Revision 1 remains: "Transcribe English Subtitles Video: Michael Moore on the Rachel Maddow Show - Part 1 (11/3/11) (08:23) Subtitles: latest draft transcribed by Avatar of Claude Almansi" Comment: In this case, I control both "Claude Almansi" and "Avatar of Claude Almansi" users, and I saved the Revision 2 subtitles as Claude Almansi (admin at Music Captioning) before reverting to Revision 0 with the avatar (not member of the team). But the same rolling back could be done on any taskblocked subs of the team by any Amara user who is not a member of it, thus making successive work unavailable

14/06/2012 The situation remains identical: as admin, I can't roll back to the version preceding the one in which, as a non member, I rolled back to version0
