[srinivas kodali]

@nisha: Right now, I think we can only suggest changes for the existing
draft and not suggest anything new. I am not sure either. We need to
consolidate everything on the hackpad and mail it to asif from PwC. It`s
only a part of the document is out.

Anyone else who wants to have a look at the guidelines and make
suggestions, please do it by tomorrow afternoon

Regards,
Srinivas Kodali

Re: [datameet] Update Fwd: Re: GIGW revision

[srinivas kodali]

I started a hackpad for suggestions
https://datameet.hackpad.com/Guidelines-for-Indian-Government-Websites-9hXUSgaNG3m

Please comment on the points you think need to be improved for better
public data over govt. websites.

I think we can make suggestions on content/data licenses on the websites,
file strucutres, no to pdf`s and also tabular data.

Srinivas Kodali

Dear Asif and Harish,

Noticed the email below on the Access India group just now.

Could you please share the original document received from NIC on revising
the *GIGW (Guidelines for Indian Government Websites)*
. Is just the *accessibility part*
 being revised or the *whole
document*

?

Who is collating inputs on behalf of civil society - could we all send
emails, if so to which email id and by when?

Apologies for bothering you but news of the revision doesn't seem to be
available in the public domain. And there is so much to input.

Thanks,

Vaishnavi

Dear all,

The Government of India is planning to revise its guidelines for websites.
Experts please have a look at it, particularly the web accessibility part
and
send your comments before coming Wednesday.
Contact information is in the  trailing mails.



Draft - Guidelines


Accessibility Guidelines ( 22)

 1
if a webpage can be navigated sequentially and the navigation sequence
affect the meaning of operation, then all components receive focus in an
order
that preserves the meaning/operation.( Creating a logical tab order through
links, form controls, and objects )

 2
Web pages allow the user to bypass repeated blocks of content ( by
using
the skip to main content link)

 3
 Except for captions and images of text, text can be resized without
assistive technology up to 200 percent without loss of content or
functionality. ( using the zoom function of the browser or inbuilt controls
in
the webpage)

 4
Websites provide textual information such as Alt text & Captions to
describe non-text elements, such as audio/video clips & multimedia
presentations, images etc

 5
Information structure and relationship is preserved in all presentation
styles.

 6
The meaningful reading sequence is preserved in all presentation styles.

 7
Changing the setting of a component does not change the context unless
the
user has been informed of the same.

 8
When any component receives focus it does not initiate change in
context.

 9
If an input error is automatically detected, the item that is in error
is
identified and the error is described to the user in text.

 10
Time limit for time dependent web functions can be adjusted by the user
(also refer exceptions).

 11
Labels have been provided when content requires input from the users.

 12
The purpose of each link can be determined from the link text alone or
from the link text together with its programmatically determined link
context.
( eg Supplementing link text with the title attribute or supp
