Jake,

Good question! From the Silver Requirements<https://w3c.github.io/silver/requirements/>, I think we have this described as clearly as we currently can in these particular sections:

  *   Design principle<https://w3c.github.io/silver/requirements/#design-principles> 3: Be flexible enough to support the needs of people with disabilities and keep up with emerging technologies. The information structure allows guidance to be added or removed.
  *   Requirement 4: Technology Neutral<https://w3c.github.io/silver/requirements/#technology-neutral>
Guidance should be expressed in generic terms so that they may apply to more than one platform or technology. The intent of technology-neutral wording is to provide the opportunity to apply the core guidelines to current and emerging technology, even if specific technical advice doesn't yet exist.
  *   Requirement 8: Scope<https://w3c.github.io/silver/requirements/#scope-0>
The guidelines provide guidance for people and organizations that produce digital assets and technology of varying size and complexity. Our intent is to provide guidance for a diverse group of stakeholders including content creators, browsers, authoring tools, assistive technologies, and more.

Hope that helps!

-Shawn

Hi all,


I have a general question about the scope of Silver which is not clear, also see different views / understanding on this:


"Is Silver only for Web content or will it take on all technologies / content out there in the wild, and if the scope is broader, is this even possible from within the W3C?"


Cheers,

Jake

Jake,

I appreciate that you and many others need a summary of the different conformance proposals.  We are trying to get a summary of all the proposals organized now.  All the basic proposals are linked on the SIlver wiki in the Conformance section<https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/task-forces/silver/wiki/Main_Page#Silver_Conformance>.

We have asked everyone to write up the pros, cons, risks, and holes (missing elements) for each proposal so we can consolidate them into coherent documents that anyone can read.  I want those documents to capture the essential points of all the email threads.  Many members of the group -- including active participants like myself -- cannot read and follow the long email threads and need to have the essential issues and arguments summarized in an organized fashion.

I will send out a general email to the list when those documents are posted.

jeanne
