The major outcome of this workshop was a draft charter for submission to the W3C for the formation of a Usability Interest Group. This group is still in the planning stage. The mission of the Usability Interest Group (UIG) will be to work within the context of the W3C to improve the Web through better usability. The UIG will support the Web community by making the Web more usable. It will: - Identify and encourage the adoption of Web usability best practice - Provide a resource for Web usability information - Support the W3C in integrating usability into its processes and products - Be an advocate for users of the Web (end users, developers, designers) - Take a leadership role in recommending improvements to Web technology to enhance usability You can read more about this at http://www.nist.gov/uig_w3c Please join us at our informal SIG to find out more and to discuss plans for continuing the development of the UIG. Thank you.
