All, This may not be the best forum for discussion of such sites. My question is this - where *is* the best forum? And if one does not exist, is there reason enough to create one? Me, me, me, me, (both hands waving frantically in the air) I'll do it on the new ten-20.com, just as soon as I get the hang of CSS !!!!!! in training as we speak!!! POOH (now where's my Abrams) BEAR -----Original Message----- From: w3c-wai-ig-request@w3.org [mailto:w3c-wai-ig-request@w3.org]On Behalf Of Hewitt, Denise Sent: 30 October 2001 06:17 To: 'Kynn Bartlett '; 'Debi Orton ' Cc: 'w3c-wai-ig@w3.org ' Subject: RE: OT (slightly): Salt Lake '02 Webmaster: Inaccessible site Kynn, I think you have a really good point. But I would also like to point out that the Sydney Olympics had a serious issue with accessibility, and while the current site may be better, it does not appear (from what I have been able to decipher) that the attitude has improved.

I dislike the use of the WAI lists in this manner -- finding and identifying and shaming creators of bad sites in public -- because I think it weakens our case if we become a virtual lynch mob rather than a useful educational resource. We can get more done if we help and teach rather than if we attack and condemn. I don't disagree that this person could use some accessibility training, but I don't think it's good for anyone to have their flaws as a web designer publicly "exposed" or debated in a forum such as this, unless they specifically request a critique or assistance. It only makes _us_ look bad, and makes _them_ less likely to listen to us. --Kynn -- Kynn Bartlett <kynn@reef.com> Technical Developer Liaison Reef North America Accessibility - W3C - Integrator Network ________________________________________ BUSINESS IS DYNAMIC.
