With standards, we had software co's. With #a11y it's more insidious. Where do you think we should point the activism and awareness laser?

When we speak about #a11y we're talking about the FIRST step to making a web site. Not the last. This is the idea we have to change.

As an aging co-parent of a nearly 2-decade activism effort for Web Standards, I know, because I've lived it, that we can bring about change.
@dboudreau Please don't burst my idealistic bubble. Or, if you must, please send along a pair of rose colored glasses!

Would the analogy there be "code freeze" I wonder? @johnfoliot @aint508 @Nethermind But NOes! No stuffed dogs. That just creeps me out.
@firasd That's impressive. Of course, it's all we had once upon a time way way way back in the dark ages.

@Nethermind However, what remediation does is more like renovation - which is changing a design but not its core. #semanticsMatter ;)
@Nethermind I agree - if one considers "Restoration" as the re-engineering and design to strengthen the core without modifying the goal.
@Step_Quick That's actually quite progressive, in theory. We'll have to see what actually gets presented ;)
@Step_Quick LOL! Ah, the Drupal wars. I stay out of those ;) Actually, I'm seeing some nice topics on the agenda. 3 related to mobile #a11y
I HATE REMEDIATION. Tear it all down and build it right is what I say. Remediation is a flimsy patch on the ass of web site #a11y

@wwwsamedwards @AnnykaV I would never shoot a dog unless it was attacking a child or me or someone without malicious intent.
