Graham, I hadn't remebered the precise title of John Gill, but Chief
Scientist! LOL!
Maybe an email to the gentleman asking about universal access, and
ending, "So, what do you reckon, Chief?
Cheers,

I would rather refer to him as a mad professor than a scientist.
Most organisations have posts such as head of research and development
but
what exactly is a chief scientist? Biologists physicists and chemists
are
all scientists and people such as psychologists may also argue they
are
scientists as they claim to do their stuff from a scientific objective
point
of view.
The project to design an accessible internet could and hopefully would
result in something that would work all over the world providing it
speaks
or produces other output in the appropriate language.
On this subject, I know RNIB did once seem to like the idea of
universal
design. Here all devices work to a common standard control interface
and
information such as station names or responses from a cash point or
response
from a blood pressure meter are all given in a form that can be read
by a
device that can convert them into the necessary format. Accessibility
is
then based on your unit that receives this information, not clever
tricks
built into each device by the manufacturer. It's an ambitious project
I
know but discussion of it does seem to be almost none existent. Are
people
still working along these lines of accessibility?

Graham
