About the W3C Q&A Weblog
This weblog has been created for information and discussions between W3C and the Web community at large, as an informal companion to the news items on the W3C homepage. Announcements, issues on Web standards and educational materials among other topics will be published on this weblog.
Individual blog entries, posted by W3C Staff or Working-Group participants, generally do not represent the consensus of the W3C, but express individual opinions of the respective author.

Quality Assurance at W3C
This page used to be the home page for the Quality Assurance activity at W3C, and has since been broadened in scope and audience to become the Q&A weblog.
W3C continues to strive for quality, through testing and a quality process (see the QA Matrix), Quality Tools and documents.
Archives of the life of the Quality Assurance are still available: visit the home page of the QAIG, the former QAWG or its calendar.

Improving access to Government through better use of the Web
It’s no secret that just as the web has revolutionized business, the media, and many other parts of our lives, it is also revolutionizing how governments and citizens interact, and how government provide services. But how to do it well is still something of a black art. This post looks at the opportunities the Web provides governments, the challenges, and the role of the W3C in helping to develop underlying, interoperable technologies with which to build these services.

Syntax for ARIA: Cost-benefit analysis
The ARIA spec. defines roles, states and properties to manage the interface between rich web documents and assistive technologies. The primary expression of roles, states and properties in markup languages is via attributes. ARIA has to specify how its vocabulary of attributes and values can be integrated into both existing and future languages. This analysis assesses alternative approaches to ARIA syntax.
