Phil and others, Thanks for responding to Chuck O. and Bruce with such constructive comments. I do appreciate it. Michael is in Amsterdam at the WWW Conference and I do want him to provide the official response to Chuck Oppermann who, as usual, raises a number of very legitimate issues. We have been concerned about the number of manual checks displayed for a very long time and have wrestled with an approach that keeps them in open yet causes developers not to be overwhelmed by the list and all of the code. This can be especially problematic when using Bobby to make a presentation to others hoping to convince them that, with just a little effort, they too can create accessible sites. I have been in Bobby funding presentations where I dared not run Bobby on that organization's Website lest the Webmaster be fired for what might appear to be total incompetence. Anyways, having lost Keith Kostorf as our Bobby Java programmer slowed down the release of Bobby 3.2 just a bit and we hope to have some news shortly. This is not an official announcement as Michael will be responsible for that.
