in India, and the Centre for Internet and Society are organizing a workshop on web
accessibility for web developers from organizations in the public and
private sector, with the support of <a class="external-link" href="http://www.nixi.in/">The National Internet
Exchange of India (NIXI)</a>. The workshop will be held in Delhi from February 16<sup>th</sup>-18<sup>th</sup>,

<p align="justify">This workshop, which will feature seven trainers and about thirty
participants, is the first one of its kind, bringing together
practitioners from NIC and other government departments, as well as
from small and medium enterprises across the country. The
primary aim of this workshop is to demonstrate the importance of
creating accessible web sites and to educate the developers of
government and private web sites on how to incorporate accessibility
features into new as well as existing web sites. <br /></p>
<p align="justify"><br /></p>
<p>The
training will comprise both theory-oriented and practical sessions.
The trainers will be specialists in various aspects of web
accessibility. The main focus will be on WCAG 2.0 guidelines. The
participants will be persons already involved in developing web sites
with good knowledge of HTML, XML, CSS, etc. The workshop will in a
sense not only help in training web developers in accessibility, but
will also attempt to increase capacity building by training potential
accessibility trainers. There will also be a session where
key persons involved in the working groups on accessibility, e-governance architecture and open standards will share the
National Informatics Centre perspective. </p>
<p><br /></p>
<p>Many of the sessions will be documented as
lessons on accessibility and put up on the CIS web site. As part of
the outcome of the workshop, five inaccessible government web
sites will be identified and taken up for retrofitting with
accessibility features within the next few months. </p>
<p><br /></p>
<p>In its
move to support web accessibility, NIXI has already undertaken the
translation of the WCAG 2.0 standards into Hindi--the first translation of the WCAG into any Indian language. This is
intended to aid web developers in the need for creating accessible
web sites. </p>
