Hi EOWG, For those who were not on the call today, here is a summary of the conclusion on the WAI Resources page issue: * Shawn remembered that the reason we did this page with the 2006 redesign was because in the old site design there was a WAI Resources page. We wanted to have something similar at the URI for persistence, in case others had linked to it. * This page is not highly useful or usable as is, therefore we do not want to increase visibility to it. It is not a high priority to redesign this page at this time. Issue closed for now... ~Shawn Shawn Henry wrote: >> If you have any thoughts on how we can fairly easily improve the >> usability and visibility of the WAI Resources page >> <http://www.w3.org/WAI/Resources/Overview>, please send those in >> e-mail or prepare to discuss them at this week's teleconference.
