Hi folks, having worked on the development of a number of guidelines, I can assure you that I have never met a group who is capable of getting it right the first time, and that most groups rely on extensive constructive criticism to get it mostly right any time. I would therefore have encouraged (if I had read this thread last week) people to respond, pointing out errors or problem areas and good points in a constructive way. cheers Charles McCN On Tue, 29 Jan 2002 goliver@accease.com wrote: The UK Government has a draft set of guidelines for UK Government web sites posted at http://www.e-envoy.gov.uk/publications/guidelines/webguidelines/handbook/index.htm The close off date for feedback is 31 January and they are very long.
