Re: Call to review, Accessibility Conformance Test taskforce proposal

Hi Wilco,

The proposal looks very good!
As we know that digital publishing is becoming a priority for W3C,
dPUB working group is heavily involved in developing use cases (Romain is also working on the use cases)
http://www.w3.org/dpub/

ARIA extensions for digital publishing is being developed
http://www.w3.org/TR/2016/WD-dpub-aam-1.0-20160317/

We are working on EPUB accessibility specifications
http://www.idpf.org/epub/a11y/

Which we wish to get into WCAG extensions some time in future
http://www.w3.org/TR/wcag2-ext-req/

My suggestion is that when digital publishing is becoming such an important activity in W3C, should we mentioned it explicitly in the scope and framework part of the proposal.
It will be great to develop a framework that also supports the tests developed from digital publishing perspective.

With regards
Avneesh

Subject: Call to review, Accessibility Conformance Test taskforce proposal

Dear Auto-WCAG members and others,

Over the past few months, the Auto-WCAG community has been working on a proposal to set up a new taskforce at the W3C. The Accessibility Conformance Testing (ACT) taskforce. The aim of this task force would be to develop a suite of rules that can be used during conformance testing to accessibility standards. We aim to share this proposal with the chairs of the WCAG Working Group by next week. But before we do so we ask you kindly to send us your feedback.

The proposal is made up of three documents.

ACT for W3C, this outlines the proposal:
https://www.w3.org/community/auto-wcag/wiki/Accessibility_Conformance_Testing_for_W3C

ACT Task Force work statement

ACT Deliverables description

Please submit your feedback to the auto-wcag mailing list at public-auto-wcag@w3.org by June 13th.

Kind Regards
