Hey all,
What about making the petition for "a policy for open standers for
Government of Canada websites and web delivered information"? We could
site the census2006 as an example.
Just a thought. I think that this serve the greater propose and fits into
the CivicAccess mandate does it not.
I understand that the Java issue is still there but at least we have a
small victory. I fully agree that we need to promote fully open standers
that do not require anything client side. I still feel this is a step in
the right direction.
