WAI Overviews

From W3C Wiki

(heh, lookie what I found after I created this page:
2004 Requirements for Overview Pages for WAI Site !)

Purpose

  • Provide important context &/or address current issues that are outside the scope of the TR doc.
  • Avoid overwhelming-ness of landing in TR doc.
  • Provide high-level info before diving into TR.

Audiences

  • People who just need the high-level info, not the details in the TR. For example,*some* policy makers, project managers, reporters.
  • People looking for info such as timeline (actual info or pointer elsewhere).
  • Anyone new to the topic or to TR documents.

Issues

  • Maintenance
    • Ideally: Put info in one place, and point to it (rather than same info in multiple places).
    • Balance addressing current issues, without being too specific that info changes too often and the page needs updating.

Types
