Richard and Matt, Based on our discussion last week about WCAG 2.0, I created the following skeleton of a document, "Usage Scenarios for WCAG 2.0." [1] It is very rough. WCAG WG, Would you find something like this useful? My goal is to help us meet our 4th requirement of "Requirements for WCAG 2.0" [2] - 4. Write to a more diverse audience. In talking with people about WCAG 2.0 I have found two issues: 1. it is difficult for people new to WCAG to piece together all of the pieces. They need a roadmap. Since the resources include those written by EO, AU, UA and some non-WAI groups, this might be an EO exercise rather than something I should do, although I think it is an exercise that will greatly benefit the WCAG WG understanding of who uses our materials and how the materials are used. 2. There are two levels of detail people may want at the technology level. Currently the "HTML rules" are phrased as, "Use the TITLE element to describe the document." Some people would rather see a testable statement such as, "Check that each HTML element has a TITLE element." Matt has me thinking that we might want both types of statements. It is similar to the level of detail at the checkpoint/success criteria level of the guidelines, but technology-specific. A group of us took an action item to address the second point. I began working on a proposal, but mostly documented background. [3] In conclusion, 1. Is it helpful to complete the exercise begun at [1]? 2. Is it helpful to create a roadmap of how the pieces of WCAG 2.0 fit together? Will a roadmap help WCAG WG move forward on WCAG 2.0? 3. How do people feel about two levels of detailed statements at the technology-specific level? Any reactions to [3]?
