To Bruce and David and my other WAI friends: I was contacted by Civic.com and asked to write an opinion piece on web site accessibility for state and local government information technology managers. I was not asked to do a 'how-to' article or provide a list of resources or organizations. There are many things I left out; unfortunately I was limited to 700 words - I could have written enough to fill the entire issue! I was not told to leave them out - there just wasn't enough room. I am very aware of AWARE and the other resources and organizations that Bruce mentioned; in fact, I am taking "Designing for Universal Accessibility with HTML 4.0" http://www.hwg.org/services/classes/d201.8.html with Kynn Bartlett right now and having a wonderful time - I highly recommend the course. If Connecticut 'comes in second' behind Maryland or any other state, that's still not a bad place to be, IMHO. And Yes, I would love to hear from those working to make their states and local municipal webs accessible. Have a good holiday and a safe Y2K!
