Notes

• Some people would like Presentations and Training at the top level
• A current issue is poor in-suite navigation (e.g., bcase, eval tools, new Training Resource Suite, new How People with Disabilities Use the Web)
• WAI Technical Papers can probably be moved under Guidelines and Techniques
• We are considering redesigning using the W3C site design
