UAAG Implementation Promotion Ideas
This list of promotion ideas for the User Agent
Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 represents a quick brainstorm of ideas (original
draft by Judy Brewer, discussed and edited by UAWG members as part of the
October 22 2001 face-to-face meeting). Some
of the ideas from this list might be selected by UAWG
or EOWG to work on, but this is not a commitment to
do all of these ideas.
Use Media Strategies

bringing up UAAG implementation opportunities in every media interview

making UAAG primary topic of extended interviews e.g. live radio or webcasts
etc wherever possible
-
encourage browser product rankings in online and hard-copy magizines to include
UAAG-conformance
-
placing articles in various publications, countries, fields
-
highlight implementations that are already in place, including highlighting
the ease-of-implementation of some of the features
Develop Supporting Materials
-
develop a business case specific to
UAAG

down the road
