Subject: URGENT guideline 2.4

 

Hello all,

We have been assigned guideline 2.4 and need to have material for both
2.4 and 1.2 by next week.

Guideline 2.4 - Provide mechanisms to help users find content, orient
themselves within it, and navigate through it.  [1] 

There are 31 issues - several are marked "pending" meaning that either
they have a proposal that needs to be discussed or we can close them.
[2]  Is someone able to summarize the issues and write proposals for
closing - by Monday?

I've done the initial setup of the wiki for Guideline 2.4 [3]. Becky -
similar to what you did with 1.2, would you be able to set up the wiki
for each of the guides for 2.4? Note that guides exist for 3 of the
criteria.

We need to write guides for each of the criteria. Please volunteer for
at least one:
 Level 1 Success Criteria for Guideline 2.4 

   1. Navigational features can be programmatically identified.

Level 2 Success Criteria for Guideline 2.4 

   1. More than one way is available to locate content within a set of
delivery units. 

      Editorial Note: There are some concerns about how this criterion
would apply to web applications where the only way to expose certain
types of content would require the user to follow a specific path. 

   2.  Blocks of content that are repeated on multiple perceivable units
are implemented so that they can be bypassed. 

   3.  Delivery units have descriptive titles (some overlap with 3.1 L3
SC4?) 

   4. The destination of each programmatic reference to another delivery
unit is identified through words or phrases that either occur in text or
can be programmatically determined.

Level 3 Success Criteria for Guideline 2.4 

   1. When a page or other delivery unit is navigated sequentially,
elements receive focus in an order that follows relationships and
sequences in the content. 

   2.  Information about the user's location within a set of delivery
units is available. 

Thank you,
