Judy Brewer from the World Wide Web Consortium's Web Accessibility
Initiative discusses its efforts to set standards for web authoring tools.
Judy said:
We actually have a trilogy of guidelines that address Web accessibility and,
as you said, the one that most people are familiar with is the Web content
accessibility guidelines which explain how to make a Web site accessible for
people with disabilities.

However this interview focused on guidelines for web authoring tools!

This and all previous webcasts are transcribed for the Deaf.  They are also
kept indefinitely in our online webcasts archive.

The Web Accessibility Initiative has a wealth of information, resources and
training at its web site: http://w3.org/wai

WebAIM is a LAAP grant project providing web accessibility training online
and onsite: http://webaim.org

EASI has been active in training web designers on accessibility since
before the creation of WAI and we have reached several thousand
participants in more than four dozen countries.  We really appreciate WAI's
providing these widely accepted guidelines which are central to our online
and onsite training.  Having this solid, technical set of guidelines makes
teaching web accessibility easier and better:
