Web 4 All conference 2012: A Challenge to Web Accessibility Metrics and Guidelines


Today and tomorrow (the 16th and 17th of April respectively) mark the 9th International Cross-Disciplinary conference on Web Accessibility in Nice, France.  This year the event is being live streamed via the website http://www.w4a.info/2012/ allowing me to virtually attend, and, in particular, eavesdrop on David Sloan’s presentation of our joint paper, co-authored with Martyn Cooper and Brian Kelly. Dedicated reportage is also being supplied by a battalion of tweeters using the #w4a12 and #w4a12live hashtags.

Today, David presented our communication paper ‘A Challenge to Web Accessibility Metrics and Guidelines: Putting People and Processes First. Our paper is available for free, with abstract via the University of Bath online repository in Word, PDF and HTML formats.
