Relationship Between Mobile Web and Web Content Accessibility Working
Draft Published

   The Mobile Web Best Practices Working Group and the WAI Education
   and Outreach Working Group have published an updated Working Draft
   of "Relationship between Mobile Web Best Practices (MWBP) and Web
   Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)" "." See the announcement
   email. The groups encourage people to start by reading Web Content
   Accessibility and Mobile Web: Making a Web Site Accessible Both for
   People with Disabilities and for Mobile Devices, which shows how
   design goals for accessibility and mobile access overlap. A third
   document, Experiences Shared by People with Disabilities and by
   People Using Mobile Devices, provides examples of barriers that
   people (without disabilities) face when interacting with Web content
   via mobile devices, and similar barriers for people with
   disabilities using desktop computers. Learn more about the Mobile
   Web Initiative and the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI).

Note: Authoring Applications for the Multimodal Architecture

   The Multimodal Interaction Working Group has published the Group
   Note of "Authoring Applications for the Multimodal Architecture."
   This document provides a concrete illustration of a multimodal
   application based on W3C's "Multimodal Architecture and Interfaces"
   (MMI Architecture) including the startup phase, how components find
   each other and message transport. Learn more about the Multimodal
   Interaction Activity.
