Eric Meyer reports of a new contest to redesign Jakob Nielsen's useit.com website. These are the requirements (visit the contest page for more information):
The design must use valid tableless XHTML 1.0, CSS, and it must meet WAI Accessibility level 1. JavaScript, GIF, JPG and PNG images may be used. Server scripts, databases, and plug-in based media are not permitted. Designs containing animated GIFs and Flash are acceptable, but will face tough scrutiny to ensure that they are accessible.
This sounds like fun. If I have enough time (good question), I might just take part in this contest. However, it is unlikely that the winning design will be implemented. Nielsen himself has told the organiser, that "it is highly unlikely that I will use the results, since my goal is to use the same design for useit.com as we have for nngroup.com
".
