Misc Notes
Ideas on future work:
- (Ideas included in the 2017 Charter are above)
- (Previous ideas at [https://www.w3.org/WAI/EO/wiki/EO_2017_Chartering#Possible_work_in_scope: 2017 charter possible work in scope)
- Sent to WAI Coordination Call:
- Proactive on [accessibility aspects of] emerging issues, such as Vibration API, Push/Notifications APIs, Gamepad API, graphics accessibility
- Internationalizing the accessibility work at W3C (beyond translations), including increased attention on the "crossover" issue of sign language users, since that community includes many who see their issue as one of language rather than disability
- Standardization of gestures across OS on touchscreen devices (POS, EFTPOS, kiosks etc)
