The W3C Web Accessibility initiative (WAI) has published updated documents related to mobile accessibility. They cover how mobile web accessibility is addressed in existing W3C standards/guidelines, and how the overlap between mobile web design/development and accessibility strengthens the business case.

EOWG planning & record keeping

On September 10, 2012, Jennifer sent:

  • WAI-IG email message to the WebAIM list
  • WAI-IG email message to 17 "undisclosed recipients."
  • One of those recipients was Henny Swan. This message was a start toward my Action item 208. I then followed up, about three hours later, with a more personal message.
  • WAI-IG message to the Public WAI-Engage email list; I highlighted the mobile business case.
