Re: Call for Review: Introduction to "How People with Disabilities Use the Web"

Thank you for the review and comments, Judy.

EOWG & Judy,

Because there are other things that need to be updated, I edited it to:
"The draft document will soon be updated to reflect current best practice; for example, the references will be updated to WCAG 2.0 instead of WCAG 1.0."
Let me know if you have any concerns with that.

> I would also lean towards giving the time-frame as "within 2009" instead of "by 2010."

Until that seems feasible, I would rather not put the earlier time. It's better to beat the date than to miss it in this case. At any time where it seems like we might get it done in 2009, we can change the date.

Thanks,
~Shawn
