International Backup Awareness Day
La duplication est un élément essentiel de la survie de toute archive. Les livres survivent parce-qu'ils sont dupliqués en grand nombre et distribués.I'm planning to donate $100 to archive.org as I have a whole new appreciation for how rare an internet-wide full archive service -- one that includes images -- really is.

Techniques for WCAG 2.0
"Techniques for WCAG 2.0" provides information to Web content developers who wish to satisfy the success criteria of Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 [WCAG20]. Techniques are specific authoring practices that may be used in support of the WCAG 2.0 success criteria. This document provides "General Techniques" that describe basic practices that are applicable to any technology, and technology-specific techniques that provide information applicable to specific technologies. The World Wide Web Consortium only documents techniques for non-proprietary technologies; the WCAG Working Group hopes vendors of other technologies will provide similar techniques to describe how to conform to WCAG 2.0 using those technologies. Use of the techniques provided in this document makes it easier for Web content to demonstrate conformance to WCAG 2.0 success criteria than if these techniques are not used.
