Updated: How to Meet WCAG 2.0: A customizable quick reference
17 March 2016
<https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/5324>
The Education and Outreach Working Group (EOWG) and the Web
Content Accessibility Guidelines Working Group (WCAG WG) have
published a new version of How to Meet WCAG 2.0: A customizable
quick reference to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0
requirements (success criteria) and techniques. It provides a
customizable view of WCAG 2.0 resources, including: Web Content
Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 web standard, Techniques for
WCAG 2.0 implementation guidance, and Understanding WCAG 2.0
supporting information. Information on these resources is provided
in the WCAG Overview and The WCAG 2.0 Documents. This new version
provides a significantly updated user interface and additional
functionality to filter by Tags that are categorized under
Developing, Interaction Design, Content Creation, and Visual
Design. (The previous version is still available.) Learn more

First Public Working Draft: Accessibility Requirements for People with
Low Vision
17 March 2016
<https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/5322>
"Accessibility Requirements for People with Low Vision,"
developed by the Low Vision Accessibility Task Force (LVTF), was
published today by the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines
Working Group (WCAG WG). This document describes what people with
low vision need for electronic content, tools, and technologies to
be accessible. It includes an overview of low vision and describes
specific user needs. It does not set technical requirements. It
provides the background for planned future work on guidance for
making web content, tools, and technologies accessible to people
with low vision. Comments are welcome by 14 April 2016. Read about
the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI).

WCAG-EM Report Tool: Accessibility Evaluation Report Generator is
Updated
17 March 2016
<https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/5320>
Education and Outreach Working Group (EOWG) has published an
updated version of the WCAG-EM Report Tool: Website Accessibility
Evaluation Report Generator. The tool helps you generate website
accessibility evaluation reports according to Website
Accessibility Conformance Evaluation Methodology (WCAG-EM).
WCAG-EM is an informative W3C Working Group Note. It describes an
approach for evaluating how websites, including web applications
and websites for mobile devices, conform to Web Content
Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0. We welcome feedback on this
version of the WCAG-EM Report Tool and suggestions for
improvements for the next version. Learn more about the Web
Accessibility Initiative (WAI).

W3C Invites Implementations of WOFF File Format 2.0
15 March 2016
<https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/5316>
The WebFonts Working Group invites implementation of the Candidate
Recommendation of "WOFF File Format 2.0." Based on experience
with WOFF 1.0, which is widely deployed, this specification was
developed to provide improved compression and thus lower use of
network bandwidth, while still allowing fast decompression even on
mobile devices. This is achieved by combining a content-aware
preprocessing step and improved entropy coding, compared to the
Flate compression used in WOFF 1.0.
<https://www.w3.org/Fonts/WG/>
<https://www.w3.org/TR/2016/CR-WOFF2-20160315/>
The Working Group has also published a Group Note of "WOFF 2.0
Evaluation Report." Web Open Font Format (WOFF) 2.0 is a proposed
update to the existing WOFF 1.0 with improved compression. This
report lists requirements for successful deployment, evaluates how
the requirement may be met, and examines the compression gains and
tradeoffs vs. code complexity, encode and decode time. This
document is non-normative.
