RE: When should I start using WCAG 2.0?

Hi Jenny, All,

Quoting Jenny Craven <J.Craven@mmu.ac.uk>:

The Last Call Working Draft says that:
"WCAG 2.0 conformance at level Triple-A (AAA) means that all Level 1, 
Level 2 and at least half (50%) of the Level 3 success criteria that 
apply to the content types used are met assuming user agent support for 
only the technologies in the specified baseline."
(http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/complete.html#conformance-reqs - other 
conformance levels are explained in the same section)


Regarding the question when people "should" start using WCAG 2.0, I 
think that depends on what they want to achieve. When WCAG 2.0 moves to 
"Candidate Recommendation" (http://www.w3.org/2005/10/Process-20051014/
tr.html#cfi), the WCAG WG will start looking for websites implementing 
the guidelines.
If you're not (yet) interested in WCAG 2.0 conformance, the "Techniques 
for WCAG 2.0" (http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20-TECHS/) can probably still 
be of interest.

Best regards,

Christoophe
