WWW 2005 Notes
I’m currently at the WWW2005 conference in Chiba, Japan. Some notes from the W4A2005 workshop:
* The aDesigner visual disability simulator (screenshots) looks like an interesting tool to get an idea of a website’s accessibility - Windows only, though.
* Wendy Chisholm: WCAG 2.0 (currently in Working Draft stage) will be more precisely testable (by humans, with the help of tools) and easier to use than WCAG 1.0. Transition from WCAG 1.0 to 2.0 also shouldn’t be that hard. Those interested might want to check the WCAG 2.0 introduction page.
* It seems there’s a lot of work going on in the field of (intermediary) content extraction tools that attempt to de-clutter web pages and just keep the relevant content (which can then be passed on to a text-to-speech engine, etc): Crunch is one of these tools. (Via wg)
