For a while I have been trying to get to grips with WCAG2.0 enough to
rewrite our accessibility statement and guidelines. I was hoping that
the abilitynet meeting this week would help, but it didn't. I have
found a great summary of an event in Ireland
(http://www.clickstream.ie/blog/2009/06/25/iia-event-demystifying-wcag-20-and-web-accessibility/
[but the legal refs are all to Irish legistlation]) and Brian's
various talks, the latest being at Techshare last week
(http://ukwebfocus.wordpress.com/2009/09/23/reflections-on-web-adaptability-and-techshare-2009/)
so I am moving towards getting somewhere but not finding it easy.
So, how are other UKHE institutions doing with this? I'm finding it
isn't so much writing the statement that's the problem, the bigger
difficulty is describing for information providers in the University
how they need to assess their pages - getting them to test the pages
was enough of an ask, but setting out a set of time-consuming rituals
will be a waste of time. I'd appreciate any advice or ideas!
