Dear Group, The requirements for the tools list (included in the changelog document) and the static mock-ups for the tools list have been updated according to the recent discussion and feedback. The changelog captures most of these changes: - <http://www.w3.org/WAI/EO/Drafts/eval/tools/tools-changelog> - <http://www.w3.org/WAI/EO/Drafts/eval/tools/> The main changes that were implemented are: * Separated and highlighted "warning" information (called "Getting Started") about using tools (with link to "Selecting Tools" document); and placed at the beginning of the start-page [1]. * Separated disclaimer text to only talk about claims for tools listed on the W3C Web site. * Added prominent "read this first"-type of link at the beginning of each sub-page [2, 3, 4, 5]. * Added sorting capability on the "complete list" and "search results page" [2, 5]. The updated mock-ups for the tools list are: [1] Start-page - <http://www.w3.org/WAI/EO/Drafts/eval/tools/Overview> [2] Complete list - <http://www.w3.org/WAI/EO/Drafts/eval/tools/complete> [3] Simple search - <http://www.w3.org/WAI/EO/Drafts/eval/tools/simple> [4] Advanced search - <http://www.w3.org/WAI/EO/Drafts/eval/tools/advanced> [5] Search results page - <http://www.w3.org/WAI/EO/Drafts/eval/tools/list> The questions for tomorrow's EOWG call are: * Does the overall functionality of the tools list satisfy the requirements and uses cases? * Is the tools list self-explanatory and easy to use (for beginners and experienced users)? * Do the pages effectively catch "random users" and direct them to context information? * Are there enough warning for users who may be searching for a "silver bullet tool"?
