[WAI ERT WG] [EARL]

EARL Background Material

EARL is largely the result of a substantive amount of excellent work from people such as Dan Brickley, Charles McCathieNevile, Daniel Dardailler, Len Kasday, and Aaron Swartz. This document has been provided so that links to this work are not lost, and so that people can understand much of the background to EARL, and hence gain a better understanding of its nature.

This is mainly an anthology of the ERT list archives, as well as some related resources. Rooting around in the ERT archives will provide one with much more information on the subject, but trying to find individual issues is like looking for a needle in a haystack (hence this document).
