Personally I am glad to see Bobby go. So often I have been in to see a new client and all they are concerned about is making sure they their site adheres to the Bobby 'standard'. When you strat to talk to them about it is obvious that they have never heard of the W3C or WCAG. Also, they will show you other similar sites that they like and I usually find the sites will have the little Bobby logo, but then when you start digging in many cases either only the home page is accessible or the site has only passed the automated tests, but failed the manual check. Hopefully with Bobby gone, website owners and developers will start to think a bit more deeply about website accessibility and what is involved. -- Cheers, Julian Voelcker Cirencester, United Kingdom
