Its time to check up on accessibility issues. The guidelines are available on the W3C/WAI website. Whilst looking about the following anouncement kind of struck me, is WCAG 2.0 almost a reality? Its now in Candidate Release...
WCAG 2.0 On the Move: Ready to Test-Drive
We are excited to announce that Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 (WCAG 2.0) was published as a W3C Candidate Recommendation on 30 April 2008. The Candidate Recommendation stage means that there is broad consensus on the technical content, and W3C invites you to implement WCAG 2.0. Please see additional information in:
- WCAG 2.0 Candidate Recommendation Ready to Test Drive
- How WAI Develops Accessibility Guidelines through the W3C Process
- Overview of WCAG 2.0 Documents
If you are interested in sharing implementation experience, please let us know by 23 May 2008. (2008-04-30)
OK so I'm a little late to join in what is effectively a form of Beta testing. I expect the final release of the initiative guidelines to be available later in the year, it's been a long wait.
