The WCAG Working Group has reviewed all comments received on the May draft, and will be publishing an updated Public Working Draft shortly.

Please review our resolutions for the following comments, and reply to us by 19 November 2007 at public-comments-wcag20@w3.org to say whether you are satisfied.

Though we cannot always do exactly what each commenter requests, all of the comments are valuable to the development of WCAG 2.0.

It is the most intimidating website I have ever seen. I just wanted some guidelines that a non-academic simpleton like me can understand. As far as I can see your site does not obey any of its own guidelines. It is completely incomprehensible. Thanks --------------------------------------------- Response from Working Group: --------------------------------------------- Thank you for your email. We would like the URL that your comment was referring to. Also we would appreciate specific suggestions as to improvements. We have worked hard recently to sinplify both the WCAG 2.0 and also it's web presence. One resource that might interest you is the Quick Reference. It provides help for developers with all of the Guidelines, Success Criteria and links to specific ways to understand and meet the Success Criteria.
