Good afternoon, good morning, just a few hours to go...
A short announcement to coincide with the world's great football (ahem, that's "soccer" for those of you over the pond) tournament, the World Cup.
Urbilog, the Accessibility experts in Europe, have recently begun a public "ranking" service which measures and compares accessibility (based on WCAG 1.0) of like structures. That is, we run tables of comparisons between towns, or insurance companies, and local government agencies, etc.
To expand this service beyond the borders of its homebase (France), and to jump on the world cup bandwagon, Urbilog is introducing a page of comparison for over 60 national sites (wich more to be added). The top 20 are ranked in order with details on numbers of accessibilty errors.
We will be running the country audits daily through out the World Cup period, in case any web developers feel the urge to clean up, they will see results immediately. Current leaders are the UK, France and Austria.
For further information, feel free to contact me personally by email, otherwise, just sit back and let the games begin! http://www.urbilog.fr/ranking.htm?type=5
Cheers for now,
John
PS. Apologies that the page itself is in French only. This will change next week. The table is, however, self-explanatory and of course "Accessible to All," no matter what your language constraints. :)
