[Tn-talk] NFB of TN Newsletter ideas

[Peter Donahue]

Hello Dominique,

    Do consider .MP3 Format. Not only could they be offered as podcasts, but
they could also be marked up as DAISY files allowing readers to navigate the
newsletter as they can do with books from RFB&D and soon the NLS. Just my
two cents.

Hi Peter,
No, don't worry about being forward thinking or presumptuous. These
are things that I was thinking about but I didn't want to bring that
to the table quite yet because we have to nail down some of the bigger
basics first. There will be an audio format available but the
committee and I haven't decided what formats will be most efficient
and cost effective to use. Once we have an idea though I will send it
to the list.
