Dear WAI Interest Group Participants, WAI invites you to comment on the First Public Working Draft of "Mobile Accessibility: How WCAG 2.0 and Other W3C/WAI Guidelines Apply to Mobile" at: http://www.w3.org/TR/mobile-accessibility-mapping This document describes how WCAG 2.0 principles, guidelines, and success criteria apply to mobile web content, mobile web apps, native apps, and hybrid apps using web components inside native apps. It provides guidance on mobile accessibility issues --such as small screen size, touch target size, zoom, gestures-- and how they relate to WCAG 2.0. It links to a list of existing WCAG Techniques that apply to mobile. The document also highlights the relevance of UAAG 2.0 and ATAG 2.0 in the mobile context, and links to UAAG 2.0 mobile accessibility examples. This document provides informative guidance, and does not set requirements. It may become a W3C Working Group Note, or the information may be integrated into WCAG Techniques and Understanding WCAG. (It will not impact WCAG 2.0 itself; WCAG 2.0 is a stable standard that does not change.) Comments: Specific questions that we particularly seek feedback on are listed in the Status section at: <http://www.w3.org/TR/mobile-accessibility-mapping/#sotd> We welcome comments *by 26 March 2015* to the publicly-archived mailing list: public-mobile-a11y-tf@w3.org or through Github: https://github.com/w3c/Mobile-A11y-TF-Note/ Background: W3C WAI's broader work related to mobile accessibility is introduced in a overview of Mobile Accessibility at: <http://www.w3.org/WAI/mobile/> Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) is introduced in the overview at: <http://www.w3.org/WAI/intro/wcag> User Agent Accessibility Guidelines (UAAG) is introduced in the overview at: <http://www.w3.org/WAI/intro/uaag> Authoring Tool Accessibility Guidelines (ATAG) is introduced in the overview at: <http://www.w3.org/WAI/intro/atag> This document is developed by the Mobile Accessibility Task Force (Mobile-A11y TF), a joint task force of the WCAG Working Group and the UAAG Working Group. The Task Force assists these Working Groups to produce techniques, understanding, and guidance documents, as well as updates to existing W3C material that addresses the mobile space.
