Comments on: What’s happening with WCAG 2.0? http://www.webstandards.org/2007/05/05/whats-happening-with-wcag-20/ Working together for standards Wed, 27 Mar 2013 12:19:03 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Richard http://www.webstandards.org/2007/05/05/whats-happening-with-wcag-20/comment-page-1/#comment-57914 Richard Sun, 13 May 2007 01:03:14 +0000 http://www.webstandards.org/2007/05/05/whats-happening-with-wcag-20/#comment-57914 I was referring to the whole thing (including the black) as the "blurb". So there's 11. And regardless, the link to the story (the most likely destination of a person visiting this page) is one of the least prominent elements on the page. Again, poor choice. I wonder if I can coin a term here. Link roulette? Link madness? Red herring links? I was referring to the whole thing (including the black) as the “blurb”. So there’s 11.

A blurb talking about an interview, 11 LINKS in the blurb, and only ONE, mid-sentence, links directly to the thing you're talking about. For a standards group, you rate pretty low on usability.

They are asking for everone's insight, so as long as we keep mentioning issues that are relevant to us, let's hope 90% gets acted upon. Hey, at least they haven't given up.

Judy Brewer claims that they have listened to the criticism they got and made significant alterations to WCAG 2.0. When the next version is revealed we will know if it is true. Until then it is premature to judge the working group. I found this interview interesting.

They were mostly restatements of “Your process really <em>is</em> so strong it will nullify all the objections to WCAG 2, isn’t it?” In what respect were those questions “probing”?
