HI Olle I am sure most of us will agree - thing is that our 'users' must move within political constraints and its the politics that prevents cooperation (more than the technology at times) therefore we should design accordingly - if we simply 'avoid acknowledging' the issue, we may produce something that is not easily usable from that viewpoint How do you think such 'awareness' and 'neutrality' should be reflected in our work? pdm
