Re: New Web page "Introduction to Web Accessibility"

I am not able to address the issue of where to host the document. Please coordinate this with Ivan Herman and Shadi About-Zahra.

Let me know when the translation has a stable URI and I will link to the translation from the main English version of the page.

I expect that the document will be fairly stable. I expect a few minor changes in links when we update to the redesigned WAI Web site, which will be within the first quarter of 2005 (by March). Also, since it is a new document, there might be some changes after it is announced. To help make it easy to update translations, I will carefully record any revisions from this Version 1 onward.

Yes, it has the same status: Version 1 of "Interdependent Components of Web Accessibility" is complete and ready for translation. I expect that the document will be fairly stable. I expect a few minor changes in links when we update to the redesigned WAI Web site, which will be within the first quarter of 2005 (by March). Also, since it is a new document, there might be some changes after it is announced. To help make it easy to update translations, I will carefully record any revisions from this Version 1 onward.

These Business Case pages are incomplete draft documents and I strongly recommend that you do not translate the drafts, wait to translate them after they are complete. As noted on these pages, "This document is a review draft [see change log in progress] and should not be referenced or quoted under any circumstances"

I expect to complete these Business Case documents soon (within the next month or so), and once Version 1 is complete, we would very much welcome your translating them.

Best regards,

~ Shawn
