Re: persistent QA problems with the W3C Validator

Hi Terje,

I'd just like to second Gregory's comments about soliciting feedback on
wai-xtech@w3.org and the Interest Group list. I have to admit that I don't
watch www-validator much, and though I know there are a few accessibility
folks on that list I think that more feedback would come from the wider
accessibility-focused lists. (I should warn you that both of those lists are
open discussion with no formal ability to draw a consensus, so it might take
some time to let the discussion settle there before trying to pick out the
answers). But I do use both those lists and the validator, so would be
interested in the discussions there if they take off.

Cheers

PS As far as I can tell W3C doesn't have any coffers to support thias kind of
thing. Sigh. I am sure they accept donations.

  give proper credit for such contributions on the web site, and I may
  be able to pay some symbolic fee out of my own pocket.

  GJR2: during the testing/implementation stage, you should solicit the
  opinion of the subscribers to wai-xtech@w3.org, which is the emailing
  list where the work on reformatting the W3C mail archives, amongst
  other things, transpires - WAI-Xtech is a cross-working group mailing
  list, where issues that affect all of the WAI working groups are
  discussed, thereby eliminating (or at least reducing) cross-posting
  to individual WAI working group lists...  this means that you will be
  able to pick the brains of members of the Protocols & Formats,
  Authoring Tool, User Agent, Evaluation & Repair, Web Content
  Accessibility, and Education & Outreach working groups in one fell
  swoop...  once you have implemented the fixes, then send email to
  wai-ig@w3.org, the WAI Interest Group list, announcing the changes
  and soliciting feedback...  that being said, the individuals whom you
  cited as having provided feedback/advice in your reply are ALL
  excellent resources...
