In a general sense I agree with what William is saying, but in that case the title of the document is a bit disingenuous... I think it will lead people to expect practical tips or techniques on retrofitting sites but instead it deals up a significant helping of general management practices. I would feel cheated unless section 4 - the title track so to speak - was not significantly beefed up to deliver some practical advice. Or change the title to something like "Developing a Plan to Retrofit a Web site for Accessibility" Regards, Chuck Letourneau Starling Access Services At 19/05/05 18:45, William Loughborough wrote: >Perhaps it is because we should be targeting that "higher" level since >they are our best hope of making future retrofitting a quaint rarity >instead of the unfortunate tedious concession to past prejudices that it >now seems to be. > >Often the people who must clean up this mess via retrofit have been put in >that position because of expedience policies that were misguided if not >flat out bigoted? > >In short the problem is not just fixing inaccessible sites but emphasizing >how this should/could have been avoided in the first place with the use of >sane "universal design" principles. > >Accessibility is integral to creation, not some add-on whose use is to be >tolerated because of regulation/policy/charity. > >Love. >Received on Friday, 20 May 2005 03:11:11 UTC
