Designing Silver

Designing "Silver" has moved

Silver is the temporary project name for the project to examine and define the process for a future successor to WCAG, which may also incorporate guidance from other W3C Specifications such as UAAG, and ATAG. A subgroup of the WCAG WG is meeting to develop proposals to be presented to the WCAG WG for action going forward.

The Silver Task Force wiki has moved.

Now that the Silver project is an official task force of the WCAG WG, there is a separate wiki. The wiki pages linked from this page for the Silver project are not maintained and are archival only.

Phase 1: Designing the Process

• Process of Designing Silver

Goals for Designing the Process (in progress)

• Goals for Designing the Silver Process
• WCAG WG Survey of Silver Process Goals

Options Presented to WCAG WG for TPAC F2F (archive)

1. Design Driven Option This is the group of methods best oriented toward producing the best research and data-driven decisions for the design of Silver.
2. Faster Progress Option This is the group of methods best oriented toward producing Silver most expeditiously.
3. Greatest Flexibility Option This is the group of methods that will provide a flexible design that will adapt to changing future needs.
4. Lowest Cost/Minimum Resources Option This is the most constrained option, but may be the reality that we need to deal with.

• Comparing the Options - a table with a high level overview of the differences between the options.
• Process for designing the Process -- An overview of the Phases and Methods used as a structure for all the options.
