Hi, > "We need to change the way we talk about accessibility. Most people are > taught that “web accessibility means that people with disabilities can use the > Web”— the official definition from the W3C. This is wrong. Web accessibility > means that people can use the web." For anyone able to read German, here is my critique on that ALA article: http://www.chemnitzer-14.de/die-zu-kurze-messlatte/ The basic critique: 1. Naming AT, but not describing how people with disabilities use AT, 2. Limiting accessibility testing to AT support. 3. Accessibility support always takes several years before all users benefit.
