Many of you attended the meeting on February 11 to discuss the proposed "web design standards for the College Wide Information System". At that meeting we had a lively discussion on the merits of the existing proposal. In response to that meeting, modifications have been incorporated into a new proposal.

You can view the latest version of the "web design standards" in printable PDF or accessible HTML. (apologies, but some of the examples are difficult to make properly accessible)

We would like to invite everyone who is interested to a follow-up meeting on Tuesday, April 15, 2003 from 1pm to 3pm in Barnett Hall room 1279. The purpose of this meeting is to complete the review of the proposed web design standards.

Also, there has been informative discussion on the web-guidelines mailing list; please feel free to subscribe to the web-guidelines mailing list and participate.

Changes since Version 1.29 (February 7th):

• Removed Glossary
• Cleaned up some examples
• Added a reference to WAVE next to Bobby
• Added a URL for the guidelines at the top
• Reworded the outside linking portion to be more exact

A complete list of changes since the first draft is available, as is a colorized list of changes since the last meeting (based on the HTML version). Some may find a diff from the source document more readable...

Some changes to the wording of the PDF and outside linking guidelines are coming soon.
