| ## Technical, implementation, and other support questions | ||
|
|
||
| Many questions are addressed in documents on the WAI site. For example, | ||
| [Understanding WCAG 2.0](/TR/UNDERSTANDING-WCAG20/) provides extensive | ||
| guidance on making Web sites accessible, including the intent of | ||
| guidelines and success criteria; how they help people with different | ||
| disabilities, browser and assistive technology support notes, examples, | ||
| and resources. The [WAI site map](/sitemap/) lists all documents and | ||
| [search](/search/) is available to look for specific information. | ||
| ### WAI website | ||
|
|
||
| Current Web accessibility issues are discussed through the WAI mailing | ||
| lists, which are archived and visible to the public. The [WAI Interest | ||
| Group](/WAI/IG/) is a public forum for discussion of issues relating to | ||
| Web accessibility. If you have a question that might be relevant to the | ||
| WAI IG list, you can: | ||
| Many questions are addressed in documents on the WAI website. | ||
| * A good starting place to find relevant resources is the [Accessibility Fundamentals Overview listing page](/fundamentals/) and [Introduction to Web Accessibility](/fundamentals/accessibility-intro/). | ||
| * For information on Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), see the [WCAG 2 Overview](/standards-guidelines/wcag/). | ||
| * For an annotated list of all WAI educational and technical support documents covering a wide range of topics, see **[[WAI Resources]](/resources/)**. | ||

| ### Mailing list for accessibility questions | ||
|

| submit pull requests. Look for the GitHub links near the bottom of | ||

| is usually: <[email protected]> (a public list) | ||

| section** an e-mail address to send comments. | ||
