It’s amazing how this website can equate the World Wide Web Consortium to “Disability Access”. Unless the brackets mean something else.
I was attracted by the announcement at the front page “… now equipped with W3C function. Click to know more.”
Shouldn’t the correct term be “Accessibility”?
W3C is a body that develops interoperable technologies and standards for [...]

As I thought. When the Government declared that they will favor open source for their IT needs I was thinking whether they have thoroughly analyzed their plan. What I can clearly see is that all they understand is the word FREE. No more, no less.

Quoting from what he has to say:
