Welcome to the W3C Silver Community Group

Welcome! Silver is a Task Force and a project of the W3C Accessibility Guidelines Working Group (AGWG). While the main working group is focusing on the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 update, a small Task Force is working on the preliminary research for a major update to WCAG. This new update is yet un-named, but it is clear that it will NOT be called WCAG 3.0, because we know that this major update will be applicable beyond just the Web. The name Silver comes from the chemical symbol for silver, “Ag” for Accessibility Guidelines.

Shawn Lauriat (Google) and Jeanne Spellman (The Paciello Group) presented on Silver at the CSUN 2017 Assistive Technology Conference. Their Silver presentation slide deck explaining the project is publicly available.

This W3C Community Group has been set up to support the people outside of the AGWG who are helping with Silver and the Silver research.
