Hello,
I have published the 7 July 2000 UA Guidelines [1] and
Techniques [2] documents. The full list of changes is
online [3] and included as text below.
ATTENTION: This is a very important draft and I entreat
the entire Working Group to review it. We are nearing
last call again and will be ready to go after we resolve the
remaining open issues. We only have about 12-15 checkpoints
with minimal requirements left to resolve, and there are proposals
out for all but two of them. I hope to go to last call in the
next few weeks. Please review this draft!
NOTE:
Due to mirroring issues, some links may be broken temporarily.
ABOUT THE CHANGES:
The primary changes concern folding minimal requirements
into the checkpoints. There were two parts to this
exercise:
a) Folding minimal requirements that the WG has
discussed and which are recorded in "Determining
Conformance to the UA Guidelines" [4].
b) Folding in requirements that were in Notes into
the checkpoints. The WG did not discuss this prior
to this draft, although I did send an alert [5] to the WG
in April about this. Please consider this draft my
attempt to clarify exactly what is required by each
checkpoint. The remaining note information should only
include examples, references, and clarifications about
the scope of the checkpoint (e.g., what the checkpoint
does not mean).
Here's what did not get done in this draft:
- Review/refinement of multimedia terms (refer to issue 289)
http://cmos-eng.rehab.uiuc.edu/ua-issues/issues-linear.html#289
- Additional minimal requirement proposals not yet reviewed by
the Working Group.
- Some techniques proposals that have not yet been incorporated.
I hope that you like this draft and that you agree with me that
it's the right direction for the document.
- Ian

General changes
* Added link to WAI Technical Activity statement.
* 1.3 How the guidelines are organized. Two important change:
1. It is now stated clearly that the notes after the

notes begin with the word "Note".

discussion of minimal requirements.
