I am not currently privy to decisions as to the method of communication determined by w3c for their site. However if you have tried flash3 it has an excellent interactive tutorial. It is not impossible to provide text alternatives, however difficult. SimCity as I remember, about 25 years ago was available as a text game. Today it is used by city planners, the text version is not abandoned, just less accessible to the majority. The gl site does use < > and ^ someone decided these icons were acceptable. Prefferred learning method is a user centred term referring to different peoples chosen method of studying. Some like command line structure, others prefer gui. By only admitting one method wai is not accommodating a large part of the community. It happens that non-readers are near one extreme. It is evident that if this is to be actioned, much of the site would be effected, including ig, gl and eo. jay@peepo.com Please send us links to your favourite websites.
