The ERT WG coordinates activity with other WAI Working Groups through the WAI Coordination Group. The Evaluation and Repair Tool Interest Group charter is not being renewed because discussions of the needs of authors, users, and developers is more appropriate and already lively in other WAI groups. Since both Working Groups are in need of test and example pages, there might be a coordinated effort to produce these pages. Therefore, authoring tools will perform evaluation and repair on existing pages. Currently, the ERT WG has a list of existing repair, evaluation, and transformation tools and the AUWG has a list of authoring tools.
Several tools appear on both lists.
This includes some amount of evaluation and repair. Many pages are considered inaccessible today because of the lack of support of configuration and navigation mechanisms in assistive technologies or user agents. Therefore tools that check for accessibility will also provide feedback about mobile and internationalization issues. Pooling our development resources could result in tools that provide more substantial evaluation and repair of accessibility, mobile, and internationalization issues. The W3C maintains several pieces of open source software including HTML Tidy , the HTML Validator , the CSS Validator , and Amaya .
