Hi, Kathy, the "current" version is the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 1.0. That is the one which has gone through the World Wide Web Consortium's consensus process and has been adopted as a formal recommendation (in 1999). WCAG version 2.0 is a work in progress and at this time is not meant as a usable, functional document. At present there is no scheduled date for the release of version 2.0. WCAG 1.0 is recommended for current projects. The level of compliance with WCAG 1.0 (as this may be your next question), Single-A, Double-A, Triple-A, or some subset thereof, that you should achieve is not set by the working group itself and thus is left up to you, your organizational policies, or appropriate regulatory body rules. Hope this helps, --Kynn Bartlett WCAG Working Group Member, not speaking in any official capacity At 3:52 PM -0500 1/2/01, Kathy Conron wrote: >Hello, after browsing your web site, I am unclear as to what WAI content >accessibility guidelines to use for a new distance learning initiative. >Should I use 1.0?
