DESCRIPTION
In this session, Aaron Gustafson will introduce you to Web Standards Sherpa, a new resource from the Web Standards Project. The goal of Web Standards Sherpa is to "provide helpful, pragmatic and up-to-date advice on best practices for web professionals everywhere" via brief, focused instructional critiques of existing websites (most of which are submitted for critique by the site's audience). Aaron will introduce you to the people behind the website and walk through some of the ways the site distills the best practices discussed into digestible tidbits that you can put to use right away.

What
We started out by spreading the word to anyone who’d listen.
We led browser upgrade campaigns.
We took browsers to task for their sins against web standards.
We goaded software developers into embracing standards.
In many ways you could say we won the battle over web standards.
So why are so many web sites still built without using web standards?
We’ve been preachingto the converted.
There are a lotof people wehaven’t reached.
But we wantto change that.

done poorly that we notice it.
