Hi Tim, this site and js are only the tip of the ice berg. It's fine that lynx may be fixable for some future release to some extent with js but we have flash and all kinds of other video streamed interactive content that we will never get at that seem to many designers to be more and more the berries and there are more than just lynx out there that we and others will be using that will be small, accessible and efficient and consume low bandwidth that will not be able to support this heavy weight insecure stuff. What is really needed is for a conserted effort on many fronts to clarify the bar from the consumer's point of view at last and make the point loudly and in rather millitant ways that inaccessible is flatly unacceptable. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tim Pennick" <T.Pennick@axion.bt.co.uk> To: <blinux-list@redhat.com> Cc: "Tim Pennick" <T.Pennick@axion.bt.co.uk> Sent: Tuesday, July 16, 2002 5:32 AM Subject: Links (with an I), Lynx (with a Y) and inaccessible sites Hi All, I've been following the disucssion about inaccessibility of a particular site with interest. I may have missed a few postings, but I think that the amount of effort generated by a single inaccessible site, must indicate that we're looking at the problem from the wrong end. If each site that isn't accessible by Lynx has to be tackled individually, the Lynx/Links community is in danger of disappearing in a cloud of irate correspondence. There must be, somewhere in the open-source community, someone in an accademic institution who could throw the weight of a team of students with final-year projects etc. behind cracking the javascript issue in Lynx, once and for all. The development of Lynx has now more or less stopped (last release in April 2000). Its a long shot, but are there any students on this list who could try to interest their supervisors in throwing some effort in to producing a major upgrade of Lynx (obviously co-ordinated or with the agreement of the current remaining Lynx development community)?
