What WaSP has been up to for the last year: WaSP InterACT, Small Business Outreach, and Web Standards Sherpa.

1. Open Meeting 2011

2. What
happened
to WaSP?

3. We started out by
spreading the word to
anyone who’d listen.

4. We led browser
upgrade campaigns.

5. We took browsers to
task for their sins
against web standards.

6. We goaded software
developers into
embracing standards.

7. In many ways you could
say we won the battle
over web standards.

8. So why are so many
web sites still built
without using
web standards?

9. We’ve been preaching
to the converted.

10. There are a lot
of people we
haven’t reached.

11. But we want
to change that.

focus on the words, not how many
different fonts are saying them.

becomes invisible. It’s only when it’s
done poorly that we notice it.
