Thanks. A few weeks ago I went through the motions of expressing an interest in joining the WG, and had a very brief reply from Daniel Dardailler welcoming me. Since then I've discovered a problem I didn't quite anticipate: the weekly telecons are scheduled as 90 minutes at peak- time international call rates, and I simply can't afford to do that on a regular or semi-regular basis. But I am willing and able to help with the development of WAI/ER tools, if that can be arranged, and if this group really is more receptive to offers of help than for instance the Validator (to which I have offered various things in the past; most recently a fix for a bug that has been discussed on www-validator before now, and which Liam had up-and-running in the WDG validator within about an hour of my announcing it). Some of the Site Valet software could fairly easily be re-used to automate a range of checks in the WART (and I daresay some of Bobby could be used to similar effect). So it would seem to make sense for me to take a look at it. -- Nick Kew
