[thelist] When should you redirect? (was site redirect check)

[Schaz]

Mark - it also depends on which state in Oz you are in - I know that the 
State Govt in Qld is bringing in the new IM26 (currently in review mode) 
soon that will cover *all* govt websites - it states that by december 2001 
all govt websites must be priority level 1 accessible and all homepages of 
govt sites (the first page) need to be priority level 2 accessible as well. 
This is making my life fun atm coz I'm on contract to a govt dept and I'm 
redesigning the portal page to fit in with this as well as rewriting the 
developer guidelines to include the relevant information on accessibility.
