A preliminary feedback for the WCAG 2.0 : WCAG 1.0 Vs WCAG 2.0 evaluation study
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper aims at giving some feedback about the usability of the very recently released second version of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.0). This is done by examining a Web page and evaluating it with both WCAG 1.0 and WCAG 2.0 and commenting upon the results obtained and noting how this reflects upon the content and usability of WCAG 2.0. The outcome of this exercise offers a preliminary indication of the difficulties inherent in the content and the use of the guidelines, both in respect to the old and latest version.
