To web developers, designers, project managers, and anyone working on web accessibility:

We invite you to share your perspectives on how we can improve the support material for Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 via the survey at:
<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1xqB54kJ7PfH8g2BWp3ww7HpXXcLhySSfE0aW1Re2gcU/viewform>

The survey gathers information and ideas to help the W3C Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) Working Groups improve the usability of the WCAG 2.0 support material. The survey focuses on three documents:
* Techniques for WCAG 2.0 <http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20-TECHS/>;
* Understanding WCAG 2.0 <http://www.w3.org/TR/UNDERSTANDING-WCAG20/>;
* How to Meet WCAG 2.0 <http://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG20/quickref/>;

The survey does not cover the WCAG 2.0 standard <http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/>; because it is a stable, referenceable standard that does not change.

The survey briefly asks at the end about some of the other supporting material: WCAG Overview, WCAG 2 at a Glance, The WCAG 2.0 Documents, Accessibility Principles, and Web Accessibility Tutorials.[1]

The survey is related to broader work including usability studies and to work scheduled through the WAI-DEV Project <http://www.w3.org/WAI/DEV/deliverables>;. We will provide information on those deliverables as the work progresses.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Feel free to circulate this message to other lists; please avoid cross-postings where possible.
