A bit of history
It all started in early 2002. Gabriele Bartolini was trying to write a very methodological and complete policy about Web content accessibility regarding a web site at the City Council of Prato. All he had in his hands was WCAG 1.0 checklist of checkpoints and several reports from ht://Check and Bobby that automatically tried to assess accessibility barriers.
His aims were to build a detailed policy that could show users which guidelines (from WCAG 1.0) were fully met by the website in order to claim a certain level of conformance (in that specific case, double A). As a real programmer often does, instead of spending half an hour on a manual assessment, he preferred to spend a bit more of time producing something that he could reuse in the future for other web sites. That's how Wuhkag was born.
