RE: New Web page "Introduction to Web Accessibility"

Hi Encarna,

Ref: <http://www.w3.org/WAI/translation.html#policy>

As described in the Translation Policy, we maintain a sortable list of
translation but do not serve them via content negotiation. Also, we
prefer you host them on your site (to avoid overhead in updating the
documents) but we can also host them on our site if you want.

Regards,
  Shadi

Thanks Shawn for your quick replay. You are right about the drafts, I
didn't realise that they were drafts.

I will contact Shadi or Ivan about the content negotiation.

Thanks again.

Encarna.

I am not able to address the issue of where to host the document. Please
coordinate this with Ivan Herman and Shadi About-Zahra.

Let me know when the translation has a stable URI and I will link to the
translation from the main English version of the page.

I expect that the document will be fairly stable. I expect a few minor
changes in links when we update to the redesigned WAI Web site, which
will be within the first quarter of 2005 (by March). Also, since it is a
new document, there might be some changes after it is announced. To help
make it easy to update translations, I will carefully record any
revisions from this Version 1 onward.

Yes, it has the same status: Version 1 of "Interdependent Components of
Web Accessibility" is complete and ready for translation. I expect that
the document will be fairly stable. I expect a few minor changes in
links when we update to the redesigned WAI Web site, which will be
within the first quarter of 2005 (by March). Also, since it is a new
document, there might be some changes after it is announced. To help
make it easy to update translations, I will carefully record any
revisions from this Version 1 onward.

These Business Case pages are incomplete draft documents and I strongly
recommend that you do not translate the drafts, wait to translate them
after they are complete. As noted on these pages, "This document is a
review draft [see change log in progress] and should not be referenced
or quoted under any circumstances"

I expect to complete these Business Case documents soon (within the next
month or so), and once Version 1 is complete, we would very much welcome
your translating them.

Best regards,

~ Shawn
