Deliverables
Maintained by: Judy Brewer
Last updated October 3, 2000.
Nov. 29, 2001: THIS PAGE IS OUTDATED -- PLEASE REFER TO
EOWG HOME PAGE DELIVERABLES INSTEAD.
The planned deliverables on this page are taken from the
EOWG Charter, from WAI-DE work-packages, and from
EOWG discussions. Deliverables are produced by
EOWG members, WAI staff, or under subcontract. The EOWG reviews at least
one draft of each deliverable and incorporates comments. The WAI Interest
Group also provides comments on EOWG deliverables. W3C is the final arbiter
of materials release. One of three general priority levels is designated
for each deliverable: "high," "regular," or "later."
Disclaimer: This deliverables list is for on-going planning
use by the WAI Education & Outreach Working Group (EOWG). Because
it is a planning document, items, priorities, owners, etc. will change over
time as the project progresses and as we re-assess project needs and
resources. In particular:
-
proposed timelines are subject to change;
-
links to EOWG discussions of deliverables are incomplete;
-
all materials linked from here should be considered as "DRAFT" and and SHOULD
NOT be bookmarked as reference materials, unless they are also linked from
the WAI resource area at
http://www.w3.org/WAI.
