FE 0.3 bug(s): Fluid Engage an exhibition, home QA test plan

[tona monjo]

Hi Everett,

To avoid the redundancy in

*Image of a street car

Street car

some information about a street car.....
*
could it work to have an empty ("") Alt?

I also though on the case of the About page, where we use an image that is
useful to illustrate about the kind of artifacts that the user will find at
the exhibition, but that is not intrinsically related to the contents of the
page. Can it be confusing if you read it as part of the contents of the
page? Could we use there the empty Alt?

Thanks!

Tona
