WebAIM is developing a new version of WAVE -
http://dev.wave.webaim.org/ This web accessibility evaluation tool has
been quite popular and we want to make it even better. We are
developing a new evaluation engine that will be used with WAVE for
checking HTML accessibility. This will allow us to develop a more
robust tool that can run both server-side and client-side. A WAVE
Firefox toolbar will allow WAVE checking of password protected,
dynamic, javascript driven/AJAX, and local documents). This engine can
also be used with other tools for checking any number of other
document formats, such as ODF and XUL.
We already have identified some bugs and several new accessibility
tests, but as we explore the future of WAVE, we would appreciate any
feedback, ideas, or recommendations you have. What works well with
WAVE? What doesn't? What features would you like to see? How can the
reporting be made more understandable? Are you aware of any bugs
(besides the fact that it incorrectly flags many form labels as being
missing)?
Feel free to e-mail me off-list, or on-list if you'd like to discuss publicly.
