Dear Eval TF, From the recent thread on the construction of WCAG 2.0 Techniques, here are some questions to think about: * Is the "evaluation methodology" expected to be carried out by one person or by a group of more than one persons? * What is the expected level of expertise (in accessibility, in web technologies etc) of persons carrying out an evaluation? * Is the involvement of people with disabilities a necessary part of carrying out an evaluation versus an improvement of the quality? * Are the individual test results binary (ie pass/fail) or a score (discrete value, ratio, etc)? * How are these test results aggregated into an overall score (plain count, weighted count, heuristics, etc)? * Is it useful to have a "confidence score" for the tests (for example depending on the degree of subjectivity or "difficulty")? * Is it useful to have a "confidence score" for the aggregated result (depending on how the evaluation is carried out)? Feel free to chime in if you have particular thoughts on any of these.
