> Purpose of testing:
>
> - Do we adequately address the target audience?
> - Do we cover websites as defined (including web applications etc.)?
> - Does it cover very large and very small websites?
> - Is the text clear and unambiguous
> - Do two different evaluators end up with comparable results when using it
> - Is there information missing that is important for understanding
> - Is there information missing that is important for the practical use of

> - Is the document in any way contradicting WCAG
> - More...?

> Cautions:
>
> - We are evaluating WCAG-EM and not WCAG.
> - Follow the text in the Methodology as close as possible.
> - This is a first evaluation of WCAG-EM
> - We have to be cautious with naming websites on the mailing list. What we

> - Please replace the name of the websites we use for the evaluation of
> WCAG-EM by 'website1' and 'website2'. So turn 'www.w3.org/morehere' into
> 'website1/morehere'. For details about the evaluation, we can use the WBS
> system.
>
> Plan:
>
> To make things easier for all of us now, we will cut the evaluation of
> WCAG-EM into parts and apply this to two or three different websites.
>
> Part One (partial test of first three steps):
>  - Test-run the first three steps (sampling). The volunteers will all do
> the first three steps for the nominated websites.
> - Discuss outcome: Then we will discuss the outcome on the list, in the
> WBS system and in the Telco.
>
> Part Two (Test of separate steps):
> - We will test separate steps and discuss the outcome. Output of this
> discussion to be presented in the WBS/list (to be decided) and in the
> Telco. What went good and where do we need to do extra work.
>
> Part Three (Test of reporting):
> - Using the different outcomes of step 3, suppose we do the evaluation.
> Try writing one report and discuss with others.
>
> Please join in the start of the test-run in the EvalTF telco of 11 april.
