A List Apart
"Accessibility: The Politics of Design" Issue 94
A little over a year ago I wrote an article here on the upcoming U.S. Accessibility Regulations for the web. Specifically on Section 508 of the WORKFORCE INVESTMENT ACT OF 1998, which required all United States Federal Agencies with websites to make those sites accessible to individuals with disabilities, within 24 months of enacting of this law. The Regulations are finally out and the clock has started ticking again.
"Time to Close the Web?" Issue 1.61 – 28 April 2000
THE WEB is a democratic, two-way medium, built on open standards. Yeah, right. Electronic Rape is the pinnacle of current commercial website development.
