I sound like I'm dead or something, Chaalz. :) Hi everyone, by the way -- I had somehow lost my subscription, but I'm back now and hope to start participating again. In my experience the biggest disconnect when dealing with WCAG is what we're talking about now -- how to make it understandable what -exactly- is meant, and what people -must- do. Because the WCAG has been and will continue to be adopted as a legal or policy requirement, we need to present a form of our guidelines that does fill that need for "checkability" and "do-this"-ness. Otherwise the confusion will just continue to increase. (PS: Thanks for the kind words about the SUNY presentation. If I get some more time in the near future -- which is a faraway hope, yes -- I hope to increase the usefulness of that particular presentation with examples and graphical content.) --Kynn -- Kynn Bartlett <kynn@idyllmtn.com> http://kynn.com/ Director of Accessibility, Edapta http://www.edapta.com/ Chief Technologist, Idyll Mountain Internet http://www.idyllmtn.com/ AWARE Center Director http://www.awarecenter.org/ Vote for Liz for N.
