Call for Review: Updated ATAG 2.0 Working Drafts

Dear WAI Interest Group participants,

The Authoring Tool Accessibility Guidelines Working Group invites you to comment on the following documents published 10 March 2008:
1. Authoring Tool Accessibility Guidelines (ATAG) 2.0
   http://www.w3.org/TR/ATAG20/
2. Implementation Techniques for ATAG 2.0
   http://www.w3.org/TR/ATAG20-TECHS/

ATAG defines how authoring tools should help Web developers produce Web content that is accessible and conforms to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines; it also defines how to make authoring tools accessible so that people with disabilities can use the tools. ATAG is introduced in the ATAG Overview at: 
   http://www.w3.org/WAI/intro/atag.php
ATAG is part of a series of accessibility guidelines/standards developed by WAI, which are listed in 
WAI Guidelines and Techniques at: 
   http://www.w3.org/WAI/guid-tech.html
