Ah, that was the part of the meeting that I missed. SORRY!

I think it's confusing to have different words. The links go to the same place. That place is a list of accessibility barriers -- which are broken in one version and fixed in another version, but the whole point is that both links go to the same list of barriers.

So, yes, I have a different opinion. However, it's not a show-stopper and I'm willing to go with group consensus (I guess ;).

Oops -- I meant include the whole *copyright* notice (rather than just part and pointing to the rest), and not the whole footer.

I agree with you *not* to include on the demo pages themselves: "Editors: Shadi Abou-Zahra and the Before/After Demo Task Force (BAD TF) of the Education and Outreach Working Group (EOWG). Developed with support from WAI-TIES, a project of the European Commission IST Programme. [see change log]" but instead just to point to the overview page for this.

Then I think we need to re-evaluate that. I think we should use it in public. Catchy is good!!! "BAD" is OK 'cause we're showing a bad site! :-)

an aside: at UPA, Steve Krug[1] said that we're never going to get anyway where with a name like "Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)", we need something catchy, like AJAX. heh.

good to try other things! but, um.... not so much. Perhaps if the other green border was there (right now missing border between banner and page , and what about using the loud border and then a quiet color inside the box -- so the box is differentiated from the Citylights page?
