While speaking with Richard last week, he asked me to share some thoughts on the education and outreach part of our work. In our conference call tomorrow, we can start to discuss this in more detail. Currently, we are quite focused on the guidelines themselves. Does it make sense to start thinking about the education & outreach part, or is it still too early? This will obviously depend upon the content being created. When should we start to define the medium or media within which we share this content? More importantly, will this influence the way in which we create the guidelines? Many web designers (at least in the US) typically use a site such as WebMonkey.com or Builder.com instead of W3.org. Such sites offer a quick overview (although not always completely accurate) of the most important aspects of a topic. They typically (in my experience) do not look to the entire guideline on the W3 site. Can we think about methods of ensuring that our deliverables are more easily approachable and more usable, so as to make sure that web designers come here first to get the most accurate set of guidelines? Richard shared with me the URL to the draft of the expert format. I think that's definitely a step in the right direction!
