ATAG is particularly relevant to you if you use blogs, wikis, social networking websites, content management systems (CMS), HTML editors, or other such tools[1]. ATAG defines how these tools should help you make your blog posts, websites, etc. accessible --Â- and how the tools themselves should be accessible so that people with disabilities can use them.

> We invite authoring tool developers to prepare to implement ATAG 2.0, with the caution that the guidelines might change. In the coming months, we'll be asking for tools that meet ATAG 2.0. Will your tool be an example? If you are considering implementing ATAG 2.0 soon, please e-mail Jeanne@w3.org

> Note about Working Draft status:
> ATAG 2.0 was published as a Last Call Working Draft on 8 July 2010. Due to substantial changes made in response to over 250 comments on that draft, the Working Group decided to return to Working Draft stage to collect feedback on these changes. The Working Group expects to publish another Last Call Working Draft in a few months. Last Call and other development stages are described in: How WAI Develops Accessibility Guidelines through the W3C Process at:
