RE: Jorge Plano's Accessible Web Guidelines in Spanish

Hello all,

Translations into spanish of many WAI guidelines and documents may be found
in www.sidar.org, where the spanish working group on web accessibility has
uploaded information for the last 5 years, and Emmanuelle Guitiérrez has
devoted a huge effort.

Nevertheless Jorge's document is more than welcome, and links could be
stablishes between both sites.

Regards,
Javier
