Re: proposed definition for "website"

Dear all I agree with comment of Don.There are many possibilities where a website is more than the followed defined key resources.What about portals, portlets,Web 3.0 applications,chat rooms,....Also we could say that a web site is a related collection of World Wide Web files.

Also what about the fact that some portlets are accessible and others are not? Do we consider each portlet a website since it is a self-contained web application?

> Websites are generally self-enclosed entities with key resources such as a homepage, login page, or other entry pages; help pages; sitemap; and contact information. Web pages within a website typically have a common design ("look and feel") and navigational structures. Examples of websites in the context of this document include:
>  - Self-enclosed web appearances owned or provided by organizations;
>  - Self-enclosed sections of websites (sometimes referred to as "sub-sites"), such as these of departments within organizations;
>  - Self-enclosed web applications and other web-based products.
> 
> Arbitrary selections of individual web pages, especially those that do not include complete processes, are not regarded as websites.

> Note: Selections of individual web pages that are not regarded as websites may claim conformance to WCAG, but the evaluation of such collections is outside the scope of this methodology.
