RE: Open invitation to test-run WCAG-EM

Hi Detlev,

We proposed that we would put this on the agenda for our telco today and proceed with the proposed 4H website in the meantime. Today we will discuss if, when and how we want to open up a (separate) and more open survey where people can choose or use their own website for evaluation. 

Kindest regards,

Eric

Hello Eric,

What happened to the idea to let evaluators pick any site they like to evaluate, to get a nice range of different websites? Is this a draft still to be confirmed or possibly changed in today's telco?

I think it would be highly desirable to get feedback, for example, on using WCA-EM on web-apps even if that doesn't add to the (comparable) test results for the one site identified in the online survey.

Best,
Detlev
