The Story of WaSP

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Article Title: The Story of WaSP

Article Description/Summary: WaSP is The Web Standard Project, a 
ground-breaking group of powerful and influential web developers and designers 
that helped to set the standard for Web Design world wide. Many of the members 
have been involved with web development since the very first days of the web, 
even before. 

http://www.webstandards.org/

The organization has bascially closed as of March 2013. The article is to 
describe the purpose and history of the organization, its evolution and work, 
its members, and why it closed, and what happens next. 

Note that the Clark College Web Development degree program was rewritten based 
upon WaSP standards and educational materials, so this program is important to 
CTEC faculty, as well as the students. Let's preserve its influence well.

Skill Level: Intermediate to Advanced

Skills: WordPress, Research, Writing, HTML, CSS, Web Standards, Web Design, Web 
Development, History

HI There.  Lot's of great information in your article.  I do have a few 
suggestions.  One is that some of the links do go to an error page, so preview 
and see which ones need fixed there are 2 or 3 I just don't remember which they 
are.  While you are in there check your alt text, is it filled out in complete 
sentence formate? ( It might be but you were working in there and I could not 
check so just confirm this)  Next add a more.  Also if you can chunk it down 
for example add headlines that evoke the readers interest to continue reading 
and maybe turn the section that talks about the three key people into a bullet 
list makes easy for eyes since with this much info it will cause this section 
to stand out and draw eyes through to it.  That's it from me I will let other 
editors know I have looked at it and have them take a peek see.  Thanks! jO

Ok Larry, the corrections look great.  A few more requests;

1) add the "more" command in there somewhere up towards the top of the article
2) Could you break down the very last paragraph at all?  Don't do if you can 
not find a spot that would makes sense but see if there is a natural break 
point, it doesn't have to have another heading just another paragraph. 
3) Two places you quoted something from "Wasp" Need to set it apart from your 
paragraph like using block quote  and link back to where the quote came from.  
After you do that Hit publish and pat yourself on the back!! =0)
