An Inspirod thought about WCAG
I read Bruce Lawsons blog about WCAG 2 (http://www.brucelawson.co.uk/...)and something he said gave me a thought.
There are 4 different areas of accessability that need to be addressed, each destinct in its disability and solution. Sight, auditory, motor function, and cognition. Woundn't it make sence to divide the WCAG into these four areas so they can be addressed properly. Then for each area there are different levels, priorities, sucess criteria, whatever your want to call it, to that corrispond to how much that technique benefits that particular disability.
This would also allow the WCAG Working Group to form specialized groups pertaining to each area. They could keep it general like they did with WCAG 2 but it would still more specifically pertain to the particular disability (wait am I starting to repeat myself
) thus IMHO actually helping with accessibility techniques.
If they did that though, I'm not sure how to best calm conformance. A possibility would be “Level 3 compliance for blind and deaf. Level 2 for motor disabilities. Level 1 for cognitive.”
Thoughts?

a list split up in such a way might be usefull explaning to certain people what needs doing and why, to make a site accessible, but the more documents we have to work through the more likely that something will be missed.
for working on the end product it is very useful to have one to-do list rather than several

Could that one to-do list possibly be broken up in to four distinct groups. It might make it easier to digest exaclty what needs to be done for the less aware (like myself
).

Look at the bottom of this webaim page. It's a good resource for understanding different types of disability and while not a to-do list I think is good for helping gain a general understanding.Jack Pickard The Pickards Information Services| Blog | Twit
