WCAG Samurai Errata for Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 1.0 released

The WCAG Samurai Errata for Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 1.0 (link no longer available) were published this week by the WCAG Samurai group. They don’t contain anything I’d consider Earth-shattering, but there are some very solid guidelines that bring the 1999 WCAG 1.0 specs a little more in-line with our current state of the browser (no revelations on how to make ajax more accessible, though!).

Check out the summary on the introduction page.

I found their information about the Brewer Palette (link no longer available) particularly interesting; Cynthia Brewer “conducted research into creating maps that people with colour deficiency (colourblindness) can read and understand.”

Roger Johansson has a nice explanation of why the Samurai group formed and published this Errata documentation.
