1. W3C/WAI releases updated version of WAI Page Author Guidelines Working
Draft:

A substantially improved version of the WAI Page Author Guidelines Working
Draft is available (as of Sept. 18) from the W3C Technical Reports page, at
<http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-WAI-PAGEAUTH>. Please make sure that any links you
have to the WAI Page Author Guidelines point to this URL, which is non-date
specific and will always have the latest public version. Note the new
priority levels, the index of guidelines-by-priority, and the attached
"techniques" document. Thanks to the Working Group and Editors. Feedback
welcome, to w3c-wai-gl@w3.org.

2. Upcoming Voice Browser Workshop, Friday October 6, Cambridge, MA USA:

The W3C will hold a workshop on voice browsers
<http://www.w3.org/UI/Voice/voice-call>. Note that this is not specifically
a WAI event. While the workshop is primarily for representatives of W3C
Member organizations, it is also possible for non-members to apply as
technical experts. If you are interested in attending, please review and
follow instructions on the site, and cc any WAI-related applications to
jbrewer@w3.org or send me questions if you have them.

2. Registration closing Sept. 25 for WAI User Agent Guidelines Meeting,
October 25-26:

Registration for the User Agent meeting on October 25-26 closes this
Friday, September 25. This is a two-day meeting following Closing the Gap
and will be key in moving the UA Guidelines towards a Proposed
Recommendation. The meeting is open to active members of the WAI User Agent
Guidelines Working Group. Additional information is available at
http://www.w3.org/WAI/1998/10/agenda-ua and on the UA WG home page at
http://www.w3.org/WAI/UA.

4. Note about last week's WAI IG update:

As you may have guessed, last week's WAI IG update ("DRAFT: WAI Interest
Group Update September 15, 1998")
<http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-ig/1998JulSep/0445.html> was
not a draft, but the real thing, with "draft" inadvertently left in the
subject line. My apologies for any confusion.

Regards, 

Judy
