I think we can help with a few of those, certainly the wiki if you need it, we tend to use mediawiki (same as http://microformats.org/wiki/ ) so if you want us to install/setup that just let me know. Also would be glad to be an extra voice for the codes of conduct and can help with the blog optimisation as well. Drop me an email if you want. Paul.

At present, say your sites is on page 6 of the search results and there are no other competitive "verifed" sites before yours, you have to click on "next" until you reach page 6". Is it a bug and if so, when do you think it will be fixed? If it is a bug, this Search Thresher is a fantastic tool. Hi Paul,

I'm currently working on a long list of functionality requirements for the extension so it'll start to move again shortly. This sites needs to be given a little nudge too.

"The best designed and most technologically advanced website will be a failure if the content isn't any good to begin with" (Gerry McGovern, 2002). Sorry Paul if I'm of the "web accessibility" topic but after all isn't content about accessibility too.

I'm trying to build a case as to why people would want to install Search Thresher and why? (For me it's people with disabilities so they don't have to waste considerable amounts of time finding accessible sites in Google). I'd like to invite people to install ST on my site and I'm looking for the right phrase. Paul,

Segala is the only company that we are aware of that provides a Content Label for accessibility compliance. These are based on WCAG and Section 508. That said, there's a W3C initiative responsible for creating user profiles using metadata. This will be an ISO standard. Segala intends to use the output - i.e. the profiles to build more meaningful user preferences in the extension. So, it will be possible to select preferences that represent your disability - if you're blind, you only care about the guidelines that apply to you... We have just created the vocabulary for PEGI. We’re getting the ball rolling so keep your eye out for new stuff to be published. Wiki will be up and running soon so anyone can create a code of conduct, or tailor current ones to suit them. Feel free to stick the installer on your site. Although it might be best to include the download icon and have it lead to the Search Thresher download page. We'll be updating this so it's more user friendly. Nathalie, at present the extension reads Content Labels.

So, they're supporting it with their vote. We just need some external funds to start building a Opera and IE plugin.

As Paul noted, we're both on the W3C Semantic Web Education and Outreach IG and the POWDER WG, so we're deeply involved. Now, the decision to support it has not yet been made, we're in technology exploration mode still, but you can certainly help by talking about it! Hey Brendan!

That said, I'm talking to some Microsoft people so that if Segala builds the plugin for IE that their staff use it... I'll give you a shout when we build something for Opera :) Thanks for stopping by Kjetil - I need to open my w3c emails - over 1,000 now! :(
