Lets create an open source web accessibility policy
Recently I’ve come accross a problem. Managers are often unable to convey what the accessibility requirments are for a product to their developers, outside of “it needs to be accessible.” I’ve been working on a document that serves as both our accessibility policy and as guidelines for us and the developers and contractors who work on our sites. Now I would like to release the first version of this document to anybody who would like to read it, and encourge anybody to make suggestions and changes [that are clearly marked] and send it back to me and I will look at intergrating the changes.
So Download the document and then email me back the document at ici.webmaster@gmail.com with your revisions. No guarantees that your change will make it in everytime, but if we all are working together, I think we can ceate a pretty useful document.
Um… why is it a Word document?
Come on Joe. How about something constructive? We all know that you know your stuff, but snide comments are really unnecessary.
You think *that* was snide?
That must have been the first sentence of mine you’d ever read, then.
Ooooh, sorry Joe. I forgot, you are a rabble rouser. You just go ahead and do your thing then. Rock on.
you can not talk about open source and offer a doc
Ok, Ana, Joe, jump up to the next thread and give some input on what format we should be using. I don’t care if the format is open source as much as I care that the process and final product is free and open.
they can, jeff, but they won’t. It’s simply not as fun as popping in and offering comments that are the equivalent of an eye roll. You simply are not on the edge. Give it up. Everyone knows it… well, ana and joe clearly do.
