RE: Your opinion can help redesign the WAI web site!

Hi Brent, and kind too from Sharon earlier,

 

Yes, I’ll definitely share as widely as poss in the UK (and friends over here will, I’m sure, will do the same).

 

This is extra special because it gives other professional groups to ‘have a say’, beyond my regular ‘hectoring’ of my own sight and hearing probs.

 

I’ll share widely, withouth my usual ‘stuff’ – which is a great opportunity.

 

Enormous thanks for this opportunity, and all your WAI help!!

 

Extrodaniory Best,

Howard

Hi Howard,

 

Thank you for your question. Yes, please do share with others that are interested. 

 

Also, along with our veteran community, we hope to gain input from those that are very new to accessibility as well. Please feel free to forward to all those you think would benefit from providing input.

 

Thanks,

Brent

Hi Sharon, 

 

Is it OK to share this brilliant opportunity with others?

 

Thinking of other professionals and countries.

 

Big thanks,

Hey folks,

Following up on Brent's email (below). 

You may recall that a Task Force of the EOWG is redesigning the WAI website. Hold your cheers long enough to help them design an information architecture that works! 

If you are so inclined, please take a few minutes to let us know how you use the WAI site (and how you'd like to use it) by completing the WAI site task survey <https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/35532/wai-site-tasks/> 

And feel free to pass along to others who may be interested - the survey is open to one and all until Nov 7. Let us hear from you!

 

Thanks a million for your help!

Best,

Sharron

Greetings WAI IG List,

The W3C Education and Outreach Working Group (EOWG)[1] is gathering input for redesigning the WAI website:
         <https://www.w3.org/WAI/> https://www.w3.org/WAI/
We are currently looking for data on the top tasks that users want to accomplish from the WAI site. This will help us as we redesign the information architecture (IA) and navigation of the website.

We value your insight and time, so we have put together a survey to learn more about the reasons people come to the WAI site. We would be very appreciative of anyone who would like to share their input via the WAI Site Tasks survey:
         <https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/35532/wai-site-tasks> https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/35532/wai-site-tasks

The survey should take most people about 10-20 minutes to complete. It is open until Monday 7 November.

Anyone can complete the survey. The answers will be visible only to EOWG participants[2] and W3C staff[3].

We encourage you to share the survey widely. We would also like to get input from people who have less knowledge of web accessibility. Feel free to forward this e-mail to other individuals or groups who might be interested in providing their input.

We thank you for your time and valuable feedback.
