It is true that Amaya is not yet a very accessible tool. The Amaya team are working on improving the accessibility of it (and as an open source project, contributions are always welcome) in conjunction with working groups of the WAI. With a very small team, and a wide reange of specifications to trial in the environment the work has to be prioritised, but we hope to eventually implement all the WAI guidelines. Conformance reviews have been done for Amaya with working drafts of both the Authoring Tool and User Agent Guidelines, which are an important step in planning future work. There are two lists for amaya - one for general announcements, feature requests, etc, and another for more development-specific discussion. Details are available from the Amaya page at http://www.w3.org/Amaya cheers Charles McCN At 07:24 PM 10/17/1999 , Victor Tsaran wrote: >Yesterday, while in search of an accessible WWW composing tool, >I came across Amaya from the www.w3.org.
