TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
The author goes a bit too far down the road to hysteria (must be a Chicken
Little fan)
but he does highlight an issue which will directly apply to some of us. It'll
become a
requrement for those of us building US Gov't websites that the site be designed
with
handicapped access in mind.
The W3C's web accessibility guidelines offer some advice for that road, but it
struck
me while reading them that we may be about to enter into a "Bauhaus"-like era
of
web design, if guidelines like this become required.
What do you think?
Have fun,
