Section 508
Wow, did anyone else look into Section 508 accessibility? I tried to look into it and came across www.section508.gov. Honestly, it would have made more sense if I were a procurement officer. But at least it is good to see that there are some standards.
My problem with the arguments made in Chapter 6 of Johnson's 'Congress Online' is that I just don't buy it. Maybe I'm not the typical user, when I want to know about a vote I don't look to the member to tell me how they voted. There are media sources that offer that information--and will put it in context, if I need it. Any contextualization on a member's site should and will only work to put the member in the best light.
But I'm one of these people who has little respect for how most of our laws are written.
