The future of 24-timmarswebben

In a few days (dec 31th) Verva, the Swedish Administrative Development Agency is closing down and together with them their guidelines about usability and accessibility, the 24-timmarswebben. This is is incredible sad, much work has been put into these guidelines and are used by many in the public sector.

Right now the guidelines has been moved to a new site by Peter Krantz, one of the authors behind the guidelines. This is a private intitative and all salutes to Peter.

So if you think that 24-timmarswebben is important, I’ve created a petition to save the guidelines. Please sign up and send the URL to anyone you know that think the guidelines should live on.
