Many of you have probably used the WAVE accessibility validator to check
your own Web pages for accessibility. If you haven't, this is one that
deserves a look. I have personally found the feedback to be helpful as
I've developed Web content--plus it's online and it's free.

Len Kasday was the original developer. After his untimely passing, the
project was on hold, without any continuing development. Temple
University (where Len was working) recently contracted with WebAIM to
continue Len's work on the WAVE. Although our budget and resources for
this project are limited, we'd like to see if anyone out there has any
ideas that they'd like to see implemented in a future release of the
WAVE (or bugs that we should correct).

Take a look at the current 2.2 alpha version of the WAVE (this version
has the most updated features), then submit your ideas to
= EMAIL ADDRESS REMOVED = (rather than to the list).

The WAVE 2.2 alpha can be found at:
http://www.temple.edu/inst_disabilities/piat/wave/yindex.html

We can't guarantee that all of your ideas will make it in the final
product, but we'd like to incorporate as many as possible.

Thanks for your help!

Paul,

one thing that would be extremely helpful is to be able use it off web.
Meaning on files on my computer or on a server inside a firewall. Or on an
intranet.

Sincerely,

Mike Burks
