Interesting article on slashdot, about the design of government web sites. There is increasing penetration of the accessibility meme in "mainstream" geek circles. http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=00/12/07/2336229&mode=thread Wally Hartshorn asks: "Do Slashdot's readers have some examples of government Web sites that they particularly like or dislike? I'm the Web coordinator for the Web site of a state government agency, and I am looking for some ideas to improve our site's usefulness and design. I've read numerous articles about Web design, but they virtually all focus on commercial sites, where the information to be provided tends to be short and voluntary. There are many good ideas to take from these articles. However, I'm reasonably certain that there are some very different issues to consider when designing a site that is trying to present regulatory requirements (to an audience that would really rather be doing something else) rather than a site focused on selling or providing news. Any suggested good/bad examples to visit?" I think the key word for government sites is 'accessibility'. Do you all agree or disagree?" --Kynn
