"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.

June 14, 2012: issue persists: but the banner now says: Draft only Subtitles translated from English. Showing Revision 1, created Yesterday by Claude Almansi .

From June 7 @ 02:00 AM: about subs task-blocked by Amara software in teams, mostly in the Music Captioning team

How to avoid Amara-taskblocked subs in videos added to teams that have not activated tasks and workflows. Actually general, but tagged musiccaptioning for easier retrieval.

"On February 10, 2012, the National Association of the Deaf (NAD) took the lead, and was joined by several other consumer groups, in submitting comments in support of a petition filed by Telecommunications for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, Inc., Gallaudet University, and Participatory Culture Foundation requesting an exemption for certain classes of work from the anti-circumvention provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). Two of these exemption requests relate to closed captioning - one for IP based media and the other for fixed-disc based media. These exemptions will allow third parties to add or improve closed captioning on video programs without having to get permission from the copyright owner. ...." (with link to the text of the exemption)

The linked-to text of the exemption request is remarkavly clear and could bevery useful model in similar cases in other countries.

" * Posted by Justin Harris on September 4, 2010 at 12:20pm in Bugs and Issues Hello, I am a blind network creator and have noticed a few problems with ning accessibility. For the most part, the platform is quite accessible. But here's what I've found. 1. The area where you can add or take away features in your network is not accessible because of the drag and drop. While drag and drop can be done in some instances, it is very dificult, and at other times, it doesn't work at all. I always have to have someone help me with it. 2. I can't get ning chat to work. I've even tried third party solutions, but they use flash, which is not very blind friendly. I don't know if anything can be done about either of these problems, but I really hope so. I still want a site that looks good, but at the same time, accessibility in those areas would be nice. I don't know if there is some kind of script ning could run to see if someone is using a screen reader, and if so, could they generate a different admin interface? That way, those who don't need any changes could keep using the service as normal. But then blind users could check or uncheck items in a feature list. Then, depending on the feature, maybe ning could auto place the feature in a good spot, so that the users network still remains organizedd"
