November 2013 — W3C announced that the Authoring Tool Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 (ATAG 2.0) have been published as a W3C Candidate Recommendation. ATAG 2.0 provides guidelines for developers to ensure that authoring tools, including “content management systems, learning management systems, HTML editors, blogs, wikis, social media, and development environments,” both produce accessible content and are accessible for people with disabilities. At this stage in the process, W3C encourages all developers to test the recommendations to ensure that they can be implemented in various projects. W3C also requests comments regarding all authoring tools that have met ATAG 2.0 criteria, so that these tools can be mentioned in the ATAG 2.0 Implementation Report. All comments are due by December 7, 2013 and can be sent to mailto:public-atag2-comments@w3.org.
