Did anyone pick up the proposal for developer certification in the UK? See http://www.bwdma.com/403 & http://www.icdri.org/News/bwdma.htm "The first ever accessibility accreditation scheme for suppliers of web design services is to launch early next year. The scheme has been developed by the recently formed accessibility and usability working group of the British Web Design and Marketing Association (BWDMA). The accreditation will enable the digital industry to identify qualified suppliers in what is a legally essential requirement for all companies on the web." Does anyone know anything about this? What will be the basis for certification? A quick look indicates they to employ some 'certified' developers themselves.
