If you’re not familiar with the Web Standards Project, you should be. This community driven project, as they say, “fights for standards that reduce the cost and complexity of development while increasing the accessibility and long-term viability of any site published on the Web. We work with browser companies, authoring tool makers, and our peers to deliver the true power of standards to this medium.”
I’m happy to have been admitted onto their Accessibility Task Force, which consists of some of the top experts in the field. Already we are working on several things that will benefit the accessibility community and better promote web accessibility standards. As part of WebAIM’s commitment to provide staff time for these types of projects, I’m looking forward to working with this group even more to promote web standards and make the web a better place.
