Working on UAAG:
We welcome help developing UAAG. If you might be interested in actively 
participating in the UAAG Working Group, please read: Participating in 
WAI at <http://www.w3.org/WAI/participation>. Developers considering 
implementing UAAG 2.0, please contact Jeanne Spellman

Background:
UAAG defines how browsers, media players, and other "user agents" should 
support accessibility for people with disabilities and work with 
assistive technologies. Implementing UAAG 2.0 provides additional 
information about the guidelines and success criteria, including intent, 
examples, and resources. For more information on UAAG and other 
standards from the W3C Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI), see:
