Dear All,
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) Working Group invites
you to review the second WCAG 2.0 Last Call Working Draft published
on 11 December 2007. WCAG 2.0 explains how to make Web sites,
applications, and other content accessible to people with
disabilities. Please submit any comments on the following document by
1 February 2008:
http://www.w3.org/TR/2007/WD-WCAG20-20071211/
This second WCAG 2.0 Last Call Working Draft is provided for public
review of the document now that it has all resolutions from previous
comments incorporated. The WCAG Working Group hopes that it has
resolved all substantive issues with this draft, and looks forward to
progressing to the next stages in completing WCAG 2.0. The next
stages are described in:
How WAI Develops Accessibility Guidelines through the W3C Process
http://www.w3.org/WAI/intro/w3c-process
The different WCAG 2.0 documents that the WCAG Working Group updated
are introduced in:
Overview of Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 Documents
http://www.w3.org/WAI/intro/wcag20.php
A key tool for reviewing and working with WCAG 2.0 documents is:
WCAG 2.0 Quick Reference
http://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG20/quickref/
For a summary of issues, revisions, and rationales on WCAG 2.0
Working Drafts -- such as coverage of cognitive disabilities and
testability -- see:
Issues and Changes to WCAG 2.0
http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/2007/12/change-summary
Note that the navigation between the documents is changed in these
drafts. Now each topic in "Understanding WCAG 2.0" and "Techniques
for WCAG 2.0" is in a separate small Web page.
When you review the updated documents, if there are any significant
additional issues that you feel could present a barrier to adoption
and implementation of WCAG 2.0, please submit comments by:
Friday 1 February 2008
