Change requests from 20 October 2006 teleconference

• [DONE -- one version at http://www.w3.org/WAI/EO/Drafts/flyerfront5.en.html and one at http://www.w3.org/WAI/EO/Drafts/flyerfront6.en.html ] [Introductory paragraph, after "Web Accessibility Initiative," currently reads:
  "The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) promotes a high degree of usability for people with disabilities. W3C's Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) pursues Web accessibility solutions for people with visual, auditory, physical, cognitive and neurological disabilities"
  Change this either to:
  "The World Wide Web Consortium is the international standards body for the Web. The W3C's Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) works to improve access to the Web for people with visual, auditory, physical, cognitive and neurological disabilities."
  or to:
  "The World Wide Web Consortium is the international standards body for the Web. The W3C's Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) develops strategies, guidelines, resources to make the Web accessible to people with disabilities."
  Check how it flows w/in the entire flyer, including whether the info *not* used here can be reflected elsewhere e.g. at the bottom of the flyer, so that it is not lost. (Additional thought after meeting -- any way to combine both concepts in the intro, but not in one long run-on sentence?
• [DONE] At the top of the "resources" bulleted list, add "Supporting your Web accessibility efforts with:" Try instead at the top of the activities list.
• [DONE -- reverted to approach from original flyer] Revert to "Activities" and "Resources"H2's and leave the URI's standing alone at bottom of each section.
• {NOT DONE BUT FLIPPED CONSENSUS_BASED] See if possible to avoid use of "solutions" as it sounds jargony. One possibility would be to use the strategies, guidelines and resources bit here instead of solutions, thus reducing the conceptual load that we're trying to cram into the introduction. 
• [DONE] Remove reference to "promotes... usability" -- confusing. should be accessibility.
• [DONE for second bulleted list; for first one, need "standards" in there somewhere] See if "Guidelines for Web sites and Web software" fits in place of "Accessibility Guidelines/Standards" [from Sylvie's comments]
• [DONE] Change "multiple languages" back to "translated resources"

Change requests from 19 October 2006; see version flyerfront4.en.html

• from notes from Shawn (starred items for discussion)
  • **"promotes a high degree of usability for people with disabilities" -- see if better wording?
  • **"pursues" -- see if better wording?
  • **[TRIED] try removing "wai activities" and "wai resources" and flipping URI up to that position (but check how it affects design)
  • **try changing "accessibility guidelines/standards" to "accessibility guidelines that are international standards" (doesn't fit?")
  • **[TRIED] try adding "supporting your efforts on Web accessibility" before resources list
  • **[TRIED] try adding "for Web sites and Web software" following "accessibility guidelines" and remove "/standards"
  • **[TRIED] consider changing "translated resources" to "multiple languages"
  • **check on "consensus-based accessibility solutions"
  • "pursues accessibility solutions on the Web" change to "pursues Web accessibility solutions"

  • [DONE] delete http:// before URI's

Edits from 12 October 2006, for new draft updated version

Change Requests from 11 March 2005

  • [Evaluation page(s) after revised]

    • support materials to help understand and implement Web accessibility
    • resources, through international collaboration
  • WAI welcomes...
    • participation from around the world
    • volunteers to review, implement, and promote guidelines
