Announcing A11yEdge & Overlays Discussion Framing Document Publication

Colleagues:

To frame the TPAC breakout session of the Accessibility at the Edge Community Group during the W3C Technical Plenary on Wednesday 14 September, as well as our on continuing work in the CG, we offer a draft document for your consideration:

    Overlay Applications in Web Accessibility
    https://a11yedge.github.io/overlays/

    This draft is intended to help us define:

• What is meant by the term “overlay,”
• Overlays as a specific type of edge technology,
• Specific examples where overlays enhance accessibility,
• Specific antipatterns where overlays interfere * with accessibility,
• What additional edge services might be * developed or leveraged to enhance * accessibility. Your comments and editorial suggestions are gratefully appreciated. Janina Sajka, A11yEdge Facilitator</code></pre></li>
