Group expansion? Options

[Peter Evans]

Darin, pandy, Christian J and occasionally myself will all be moderating the new forums. (Thanks very much to pandy and Christian for helping us get where we are over the last month with testing and feedback).

The WDG is a select group indeed, but I wonder if pandy and Christian J might be invited to join.

While I'm in the mood. . . .

:The WDG officially has no preference for browser type, screen resolution, HTML publishing tool or any other means by which HTML may be incorrectly manipulated.

"Incorrectly" looks a bit out of place there.

:Non-browser Specific, Non-resolution Specific

These are easily misread as two kinds of specificity. Actually you're after two kinds of non-specificity. "non-browser-specific, non-resolution-specific"?

:Arnoud "Galactus" Engelfriet

What was previously his site has since been taken over by a domain squatter.

:The members of the WDG colaborate virtually

The Web Design Group was formed to promote the use of valid and creative HTML documents. The WDG officially has no preference for browser type, screen resolution, HTML publishing tool or any other means by which HTML may be incorrectly manipulated.

I now see what you're after, but it wasn't obvious. How about something like:

The Web Design Group was formed to promote the use of valid and creative HTML documents that can be read using any device. It does not push any particular software, screen resolution, etc., although it may express reasoned preferences where appropriate.

Well after working with the team for a decade now I can honestly say that we do not have any official "reasoned preferences". The ONLY preferences we have are to stick to standards. Even when the implementation of standards is broken, we advocate finding a standards-based work around.

I've been trying to think of another way to say it to make it more clear, but I just can't seem to come up with one. Perhaps it's just one of those statements that will occasionally need clarification?
