Hello TF members. I am proposing that a couple of 'tools' be dropped: * Muffin filtering proxy server (Andrew) * The Proxomitron (unassigned) I fail to see how these filtering proxy servers are Accessibility Evaluation tools - though I'm happy to receive the FOR argument and just get on with the job ;) I also propose that format conversion tools such: * PDF to HTML Converter (Andrew) * Microsoft Power Point WWW Publishing Accessibility Wizard (Andrew) * Office 2000 HTML Filter (Andrew) are not "web accessibility evaluation tools" either, and should also be dropped. Please comment on these proposals before I proceed any further. thanks, Andrew PS. Shadi, We can discuss further on the teleconference if needed. -----Original Message----- From: Shadi Abou-Zahra [mailto:shadi@w3.org] Sent: Wednesday, 23 November 2005 11:20 AM To: Andrew Arch Cc: public-wai-ert-tools@w3.org Subject: Re: W3C List of Evaluation Tools Hi Andrew, Here you are: * Muffin filtering proxy server * Navigation Power Toys for IE * Microsoft Power Point WWW Publishing Accessibility Wizard (another link at: Powerpoint Accessibility Wizard) * Office 2000 HTML Filter * PDF to HTML Converter Thanks!
