Document: Finding Your WAI ("way") to New Web Accessibility Resources
(Initial ideas below from Andrew Arch and Shawn Henry.)
New Resources section
general: suggest only finalised resources since Jan 2014 for update
- If so, we should delete "Some of them are in Draft stage as we gather more feedback." —Shawn
specific:
- Tutorials - Images, Tables, Forms (only mention the completed ones)
- Web Accessibility Tutorials - this collection of tutorials shows you how to develop web content that is accessible to people with disabilities, and that provides a better user experience for everyone. Initial tutorials include Images, Tables and Forms. (March 2015)
- Comments:
- Seems strange to have the draft tutorials in amongst the completed ones in the tutorial menu - can we at least move them to the bottom? Should we list the drafts too? — Andrew

- Easy Checks
- Easy Checks - A First Review of Web Accessibility - helps you assess the accessibility of a web page. With these 9 simple steps, you can get an idea whether or not accessibility is addressed in even the most basic way. (March 2014)
- Comments:
- This resource is identified as a working draft - will this put people off using/sharing it? —Andrew
- This page is dated March 2014 - is this too long ago to warrant inclusion in "New Web Accessibility Resources"? — Andrew

- Website Accessibility Conformance Evaluation Methodology (WCAG-EM) - an approach for determining how well a website conforms to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0. The approach contains 5 steps:
- WCAG-EM Report tool
- Website Accessibility Evaluation Report Generator helps you generate a report according to the Website Accessibility Conformance Evaluation Methodology (WCAG-EM). It does not perform any accessibility checks, rather it helps you follow the steps of WCAG-EM, to generate a structured report from the input that you provide. (February 2015)

- This doesn't feel new to me. Although it's completion is "new", it's been around for years. —Shawn
- Agreed. —Andrew
Misc
- "Look through the Website Navigation" section:
- add link to WAI Resources and explain it's the main things in the WAI nav
- Maybe expand it a bit to explain the "annotated nav pages"
- Delete "The "Documents Under Review by WAI IG" section of the WAI Interest Group (IG) page for a list of the draft documents that we're currently working on." (since we deleted that list because it wasn't a high enough priority to keep it updated)
- Maybe delete the QR code if the fad has passed? Does anyone use those?
- I'd say delete it. —Sharron
- update footer
