The Web Foundation

Tim Berners-Lee invented the world wide web. He's a director of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) who are an organisation that determine web standards for compliant code. The W3C also have an Accessibility Initiative which provides accessibility guidelines for online content as well as practical advice and tools to help you achieve conformance.

This week Tim Berners-Lee launched The Web Foundation. Thier mission is :

• to advance One Web that is free and open,
• to expand the Web's capability and robustness,
• and to extend the Web's benefits to all people on the planet.

A different spin on accessibility than what we might initially think of ... financial and geographic accessibility rather than physical. Still, I thought it was worth making a note of.
