Dear WAI Interest Group Participants,

WAI invites you to comment on "Tips for Getting Started with Web Accessibility" available from:
http://www.w3.org/WAI/gettingstarted/tips/

These tips introduce basic considerations for making your website more accessible to people with disabilities. They provide good practice to help you meet Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0. Each tip directs you to more information in related WCAG requirements, detailed background in the Understanding WCAG document, and more. Three Tips pages are available now:
* Tips on Designing for Web Accessibility - Tips for user interface and visual design
* Tips on Writing for Web Accessibility - Tips for writing and presenting content
* Tips on Developing for Web Accessibility - Tips for markup and coding

We welcome your input on improving these pages. Near the bottom of each page are links to e-mail and GitHub.

The WAI Education and Outreach Working Group (EOWG) has been developing "Tips for Getting Started with Web Accessibility" to meet the needs of web developers, designers, authors, and others who want practical starting points for implementing web accessibility and WCAG 2.0 in their work.

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 Lawton Henry, WAI Outreach
Sharron Rush, EOWG Co-Chair
