Yes, I (we) want bugs found and fixed, but there are a plethora of developers out there that cannot simply say "upgrade to the latest" - we have to support what is out there in the real world. These are not mutually exclusive goals. Keep your list for developers, but *responsibly* list the versions tested and file bugs when you find them. > Using ARIA today is reminiscent to using CSS in 1999 - 2000: it was great and wonderful and loads of people saw the value. Do you remember the "position is everything" site that documented all the CSS bugs in Internet Explorer? It was useful for web developers, but the engineers behind it also filed bugs against Internet Explorer, and now those bugs are fixed. > The data, big data, will be free and open for all to see and use as they see fit. If you or somebody else wants to take that data and file bug reports against the softwares affected, then that is a useful use of that data. Personally, I simply don't want to limit the initiative to only tracking down bugs. I file bugs whenever I find them, including bugs against other implementations like Mozilla. Even if I can't convince you, my hope is that others involved in this community effort see the value in this goal. James
