Another area NOT covered is doing an 'accessibility evaluation on implementation choices', where various UI tool kits (e.g. jQuery, Dojo, etc.), custom widgets, template layouts, and basic HTML choices are evaluated BEFORE implementation begins. This is often a very useful step when doing a 're-design' of an existing website. Hi Phill, EOWG is exploring providing such a resource. Initial notes, including links to related information already on the WAI site, is at: <http://www.w3.org/WAI/EO/wiki/Eval_in_process> We plan to work on that over the next few weeks and appreciate comments at any time.
