Hi Vivienne, Adding EOWG Archive for future reference. Thank you for putting this together, I think it is excellent! Just a few comments, though: - "How a single evaluator, working without collaboration, is unlikely to discover all the issues present on a website" -- are we saying that web accessibility evaluation cannot be carried out by a single person? This could seem daunting. I think we need to nuance this message: as websites get more complicated, different skills (UX, IA, end-users, etc) can help optimize the process (rather than being a requirement, as such). - Following that, I think we need to explain that we mean "evaluators" in the broader sense -- including but not exclusively expert testers. - I think we need to have use cases that relate to smaller websites and teams, as well as larger corporates (eg. synergy with QA teams etc). - The sentence "Someone needs to lead the team, probably the project manager to ensure that the page sample " seems to be missing its end. Maybe this was my fault while moving the content to the wiki page. Best, Shadi On 09/08/2017 16:02, Vivienne Conway wrote: > Thanks so much Shadi.

I know it sounds strange, but I can't seem to figure out how to add a new page to the EOWG Wiki - tried but it didn't seem to work. I've attached what I'm working on, and thought I'd pass this to you to see if I'm on the right track. If you can provide me with some steps to put this into a Wiki, I'd be happy to do that. I'm not up to date with the tools being used now in the working groups and it’s a bit frustrating. >> >> However I'm happy to work away and feed stuff through. >> >> >> >> >> Please be advised that I check my emails at approximately 9am and 4pm each day (more or less).

People need a statement I think from WAI about third-party that references the recent Winn-Dixie, and this might take the form of a case study, similar to the one produced way back about the Sydney Olympics.
