Hello Alistair, Jsut finished a new version yesterday. I worked the larger part of you comment into the new text only I changes it to involvement into evaluation. Do you think we should also address involving PwD in the design process like you propose? Thanks!

So, I would suggest a clarification in the text under 6.1 - possibly: Although user testing is not a requirement under this Methodology we would still strongly recommend that users with disabilities, and older users, are involved in the overall web site design process. User testing is the best way to identify any usability issues that will negatively impact user experience. User testing with people with disabilities is described in more detail in the W3C WAI Evaluation Suite section about users<http://www.w3.org/WAI/eval/users.html>.

I am attaching the following material which was prepared by WAI http://www.w3.org/WAI/EO/Drafts/eval/combining-expertise-20060216.html regards kostas Maybe we can start discussing section 6. Expertise for evaluating. This section includes involving people with disabilities. I think there could me more to say here and more references to existing WAI materials? Any other thoughts? -- Shadi Abou-Zahra - http://www.w3.org/People/shadi/ Activity Lead, W3C/WAI International Program Office Evaluation and Repair Tools Working Group (ERT WG) Research and Development Working Group (RDWG)
