Tomorrow, November 13th, is World Usability Day. It's sponsored by UPA. Transportation is this year's theme. Local and web-based events will take place around the world. Unfortunately, no events were listed for the Portland, Oregon area. However, the online card sorting of Canadian road and tourism signs is already available. A version is provided in English and in French. I'd be interested to find out more about how they use the results to improve the signage in multilingual Quebec.
The W3C announced today that the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 is a Proposed Recommendation. That means it's time for the final review, endorsement, and adoption. If you're not on board yet, it's time to step up. They estimate the final recommendation will be available in time for Christmas. It wasn't even on my gift list for this year, but I suppose they wanted to update it before the 10th anniversary of WCAG 1.0 this upcoming May.
