Your comments on WCAG 2.0 Last Call Draft of April 2006

Dear Betty McLaughlin ,

Thank you for your comments on the 2006 Last Call Working Draft of the
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 (WCAG 2.0
http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/WD-WCAG20-20060427/). We appreciate the
interest that you have taken in these guidelines.

We apologize for the delay in getting back to you. We received many
constructive comments, and sometimes addressing one issue would cause
us to revise wording covered by an earlier issue. We therefore waited
until all comments had been addressed before responding to commenters.

This message contains the comments you submitted and the resolutions
to your comments. Each comment includes a link to the archived copy of
your original comment on
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-comments-wcag20/, and may
also include links to the relevant changes in the updated WCAG 2.0
Public Working Draft at http://www.w3.org/TR/2007/WD-WCAG20-20070517/.

PLEASE REVIEW the decisions  for the following comments and reply to
us by 7 June at public-comments-WCAG20@w3.org to say whether you are
satisfied with the decision taken. Note that this list is publicly
archived.

We also welcome your comments on the rest of the updated WCAG 2.0
Public Working Draft by 29 June 2007. We have revised the guidelines
and the accompanying documents substantially. A detailed summary of
issues, revisions, and rationales for changes is at
http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/2007/05/change-summary.html . Please see
http://www.w3.org/WAI/ for more information about the current review.

Thank you,

Loretta Guarino Reid, WCAG WG Co-Chair

Comment (including rationale for proposed change):

I hope you will publish a list of things to do when designing a website.

Whatever I have read on your site (over time) never seems to get to
the point.   I would like to know exactly what to do.

thank you,

Betty McLaughlin



Proposed Change:

Response from Working Group:
----------------------------

The WCAG WG and the Education and Outreach (EO) working group will be
working together to create application notes that will do just what
you request.  See Overview of WCAG 2.0 at
http://www.w3.org/WAI/intro/wcag20.php and you will see them
mentioned.   We would like to have them done now, but need to finish
the guidelines themselves first.
