>Ok Nick, you got the plug in. >.............. >I take it you designed the site? > Paul Davis To clear up any confusion, we didn't have anything to do with design at open.gov.uk. I merely mentioned it for the interest of the group. :-) However, we do *try* to work to WAI and W3C (without claiming to be gods of the universe in this sphere) and are currently actively engaged in raising awareness on the issues here in Scotland. In the past few weeks we've made good progress in getting stuff about it into the business press here, and have had very positive meetings with government and enterprise agencies (Scottish, not UK) with regard to raising the standard of work done in this country. We have high hopes of getting it introduced as a contractual standard for any officially supported work. We're also doing a lot of networking with anyone with an interest in progressing this in Scotland especially, from any point of view. Anyone with an interest is welcome to contact me directly, but please be aware I'm hideously overstretched so may not be able to respond in detail to everyone. Oh, and since I've already been accused of plugging <grin> I may as well mention we and our growing network of associates do offer seminars, training, audits, etc. on both accessibility and usability...
