W3C WAI Mobile Accessibility Task Force - Seeking Participation

The W3C Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) has established a Mobile Accessibility Task Force to develop more specific guidance on mobile accessibility related to WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) and UAAG (User Agent Accessibility Guidelines).

The Mobile Accessibility Task Force expects to:

• develop mobile techniques for WCAG using HTML5, ARIA, CSS and JavaScript
• develop design guidance or mobile web accessibility best practices
• review existing resources, including those outside of W3C

The Task Force seeks to bring together individuals and organizations to contribute to this W3C/WAI work.

• Active participation in the Task Force takes about 4 hours per week, including teleconferences.
• Participation is through either the WCAG Working Group or the UAAG Working Group.
• More about participation is at http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/mobile-a11y-tf/#participation
