RE: New Topic (5)

Hi Shadi & all
Yes, I totally agree with your first point.  What is up there is just a skeleton at the moment and I'll endeavour to expand it.  Particularly now that we've had the first few CFP's, it should be easier to see what is required.

As to the second point, you're probably right also.  Doesn't do to get stuck on 1 aspect - hard for me to "see the forrest for the trees" at the moment as I'm doing this all day long.

Thanks for your advice.

Looking at the corresponding topic suggestion in the wiki, it seems to
me that the "research challenge" may need to be further emphasized:
  - <http://www.w3.org/WAI/RD/wiki/Accreditation_Methods>

In particular, it is unclear if the topics refers to accreditation of
websites, authoring and evaluation tools, web browsers and assistive
technology, developers and evaluators, users, or all of the above?

It seems to me more useful to explore other areas of web accessibility
rather than to get stuck in the particular area of evaluation.

Best,
   Shadi
