>http://www.wired.com/news/news/politics/story/19556.html Another example of sloppy reporting on this issue, especially when they quote ignorant web developers -- who obviously haven't been to http://aware.hwg.org/ -- who say that making a site accessible will "double" the time necessary to make a web site. Utter bull$#!+. They also promote the fallacy that web accessibility is about restricting everyone to a lowest common denominator and disallowing new innovations; also a complete fabrication. Why, o why, when they interview "web designers", do they always choose the ones who know NOTHING about what they're talking about? I mean, would it REALLY be that hard for them to ask someone who actually understands the issues? --Kynn -- Kynn Bartlett <kynn@idyllmtn.com> http://www.kynn.com/ Chief Technologist, Idyll Mountain Internet http://www.idyllmtn.com/ Become AWARE of Web Accessibility! http://aware.hwg.org/ Dan Shafer likes AWARE, so will you! http://www.kynn.com/+shafer Next Trip: Toronto, Canada (13 May-17 May) http://www8.org/
