Evaluation tool guidance

From Education & Outreach

Title

from Shadi's 2 April e-mail:

ERT WG discussed this further today [4] and proposes this new title:

- "Developer Guide to Features of Web Accessibility Evaluation Tools"

We would appreciate EOWG's perspective on this new title. Also, we are not sure if it is better to use the term "Developer Guide" (commonly used term) or rather "Developers' Guide" (grammatically better?). Also if it is "Developer Guide _on_" versus "_to_ ...".

As to a short-name handle for the document, we propose "WAET Guide". Not sure how this is pronounced but probably something like "wayet". Apparently this is already a listed abbreviation according to [5].

  • I quite like the idea of subliminally improving developers' grammar, though I think "Hitchhiker's Guide" has more promise in that regard. In any event, I vote for Developer's Guide {Anna Belle}
  • In matters of grammar, I found that I nearly always agree with AnnaBelle. +1 to Developer's Guide and WAET Guide as the acronym. Also prefer "to" vs "on"{Sharron, 2 April}
  • +1 of Annabelle's grammar suggestion and of her taste in fine literature. I also prefer "to" to "on" & I like WAET as the acronym because if you say it correctly, you will sound like you're from Texas.{Jan, 3 April}
  • +1 Anna Belle's suggestion "Developer's Guide etc."{Vicki, 3 April}
  • +1 to "Developer's Guide ..." and prefer _to_ rather than _on_. JAWS does make WAET sound like a drawled "what".{Bim, 04-April-2014}
  • If I understood the discussion of last teleconference correctly, some suggested to write a long title and a short subheading, and others to wfrite a short title and a longer subheading as description. I would be in favour of the second alternative. But if all of you like this new title, it is ok for me, and I have no opinion on the grammar issue and on versus to. {Sylvie, 04-April-2014}}
  • +1 to Annabelle's suggestion {Liam, 4 April}
  • Good suggestion for title. On grammar, I reckon it should be [Developers' Guide to ...] as it is for many developers. Happy with abbreviation. {Andrew 04-April-2014}
    • Or "Developers's Guide", if we follow the recommendations of the W3C style guide... {Liam 04-April-2014}
