I would encourage anyone with skills in accessibility and programming to get involved in NVU. Daniel Glazman, the lead developer, is (in my opinion and experience) an intelligent, open, standards-oriented accessibility-friendly developer. He is responsible for some of the accessibility improvements in Netscape/Mozilla composer, occasionally at the urging of accessibility people. But like any open source project, the most helpful thing is documentation or code. Failing that, thorough testing, and clear explanation of what is missing, backed by a reasonably solid functional knowledge of the systems involved... cheers Chaals On 19 Jun 2004, at 01:42, Geoff Deering wrote: > > Whilst one naturally asks the question as to whether any WAI input > would have any influence, as Composer has not shown any great efforts > (well some in NVU) to try to correct its direction and try to become a > try companion to Mozilla browser in regards to following web standards > compliance, especially to the extent Mozilla achieved from the > Netscape 4.x debacle, it may just do this if the developers are open > to feedback. > > If that can be achieve to any degree of success it would be a huge > help to have a good quality cross platform tool.
