Hi All I've spent the day with our main mobile document, to begin a discussion and reorganization of Mobile Accessibility: How WCAG 2.0 and Other W3C/WAI Guidelines Apply to Mobile. The original wording is kept in tact wherever possible, with small adjustments for grammar on proposed new Success Criteria. The new SCs are only slightly tweaked and will need more work. This is the beginning of the process and we'd have to address or incorporate all concerns and comments on recent posts to the mailing list. I've incorporated Detlev's work on Success Criteria also. http://davidmacd.com/blog/mobile-tf-proposal.html I would post on Github but I'm still figuring out SourceTree and didn't want to delay. The purpose of this is reorganization is to: -Tease out the advice that can be turned into WCAG Guidelines, Success Criteria, and Techniques- -Document which advice cannot become Success Criteria with their current wording -See if they can be fixed to be Success Criteria -Or move them to advisory (best practices), or Sufficient Techniques for an existing Success Criteria understanding that almost no one follows advisory or best practice advice. -Recommend moving all prose that is not a Success Criteria, Guideline or Technique to the Understanding Doc for these new Success Criteria, Guidelines, etc. -Turn the information into a form digestible as an Normative Extension Spec. for WCAG 2 The two core prerequisites that allow advice to become a Success Criteria for WCAG 2 are: Summary and conclusions -The big take away is the introduction of a new Guideline 2.5 under which about 5 new Success Criterion where Touch advice would fall. -There are 11 new Success Criteria. (Some could be demoted to techniques) -There are 17 New Advisory Success Criteria (some may be reworked to SCs, or allocated to techniques) -There are 10 new techniques -Some of the advice in the document is not testable, or does not apply in all circumstances, which turns them into best practices or advisory under current WCAG formulation.
