You might want to include "other testing services" both to give a contrast between true "validators" and other services which provide useful information, but which don't necessarily "validate." A good example of a _useful_ site in this category is CAST's Bobby (http://www.cast.org/bobby/), which is designed to catch many common accessibility (by people with disabilities) errors. >- Do you have suggestions for future articles I might write on the general >topic > of achieving better quality in Free and Open Source software, resources that > I could link to, or articles you might like to contribute yourself? Articles about web accessibility are always welcome. A lot of free and open source software is -seriously lacking- in accessibility considerations and sometimes (often?) can't be used by people with disabilities. >- What do you think of my suggestion of integrating a validator into a load > generator to test for document corruption from a server under heavy stress? I dunno, how common is that particular error? It might turn into a stress test of the validator. It's possible that validation is a lot more resources-costly than many of the simple applications you could run, which means you might clobber your validator before you clobber the tested site! --Kynn -- Kynn Bartlett <kynn@idyllmtn.com> http://www.kynn.com/
