Greetings all,

The Education and Outreach Working Group at the WAI of the W3C has been
working on ways to help people (including those with few technical skills)
make a quick and easy assessment of web accessibility. We would appreciate
your feedback. The description and links to the (very rough) draft are in
the message below. Thanks!

Best,
Sharron

Dear WAI Interest Group Participants,

Some times you want to quickly assess if a web page addresses
accessibility. Some times people without accessibility expertise want to
know if a web page addresses accessibility.

For these situations and more, WAI is drafting a new document:
*Easy Checks - A First Review of Web Accessibility*
http://www.w3.org/WAI/eval/**preliminary<http://www.w3.org/WAI/eval/preliminary>;

It provides simple steps for anyone who can use the web; no accessibility
knowledge or skill is required. The checks cover just a few accessibility
issues and are designed to be quick and easy, rather than definitive.

We welcome your suggestions and comments on this draft. You can send them
to the publicly-archived mailing list:

Please let us know if you have any questions. Thank you in advance for your
comments.
Feel free to circulate this message to other lists; please avoid
cross-postings where possible.

Regards,
Shawn Henry, EOWG Chair
