WCAG 2.0 Released
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 were finally published yesterday and are officially described as applying to “more advanced technologies
“. The new guidelines are also supposed to be easier to use and understand (although I’d advise you keep paracetamol and plenty of coffee to hand) and are designed to be more precisely testable via automated testing and human evaluation.
The good news is that most web sites that already conform to WCAG 1.0 should not require significant changes in order to conform to WCAG 2.0. And some may not need any changes — presumably those sites that significantly exceeded Level AA under WCAG 1.0.
However, like everything new, WCAG2.0 is going to take some getting used to…
