Our goal is to engage and empower accessibility professionals to advance the W3C WAI mission through community driven initiatives.
This work could include:
Creating and maintaining a repository of community-built resources that complement WAI
Being a group of active participants that are continually contributing to resources
Vetting and highlighting external resources that relate to and support this group's resources
Being available to W3C Working Groups and Task Forces to assist in writing specifications and resources
This group will not publish Specifications.
w3c-cg/aar/Group's public email, repo and wiki activity over time
Note: Community Groups are proposed and run by the community. Although W3C hosts these
conversations, the groups do not necessarily represent the views of the W3C Membership or staff.
Chairs, when logged in, may publish draft and final reports. Please see report requirements.
The Advancing Accessibility Resources Community Group has its first three resources picked and ready for contributors. Myself (Brian), Kris Anne, and Chris have volunteered to be the lead editor for these resources and need your help!
These resources are in their infancy, so there are lots of ways that you can contribute, through brainstorming and ideation, scope discussions, research, and writing content.
Also, if you know of someone that is not already a member of AAR and would like to help out, please encourage them to visit the AAR homepage to join. You do not need to be a part of a member organization in order to join – you just need to register your own account on W3.org before joining AAR.
Our next meeting is on 11 September 2024 at 19:00 ET. All meetings are listed on the AAR Community Group calendar page.
Kris Anne and I are excited to have started this new adventure with the Advancing Accessibility Resources Community Group! We are just getting things set up and refined, so we don’t expect to have any formal meetings for at least a few weeks.
We have added our initial Work Statement to the GitHub repository wiki. Please feel free to have a read through that and add any feedback/comments/suggestions as issues in that repo. We are still fleshing out this group’s mandate and scope, and would love to hear ideas from the accessibility community!
Please join the group, or at least subscribe to the mailing list, to get all of the latest updates.
We look forward to kicking things off properly very soon!
