During Roumics, Pierre Guillou, head of Ideose, propose an intervention on "Accessibility 2.0: more than a slogan" are summarized below ( see the presentation of Pierre Guillou Accessibility 2.0 ):

The work undertaken for 10 years by those involved in Web accessibility can now have a set of methods, tools and skilled people to handle the accessibility of sites "web 1.0" (standard reference and guidance, training, labels, law ...).

However, the Web now means (and even more tomorrow) a multifaceted:

• Variety of audiences visiting the Web in a manner appropriate (disabled, elderly, mobile users, etc.).
• Web services specialized to meet specific needs (relay centers via the web, etc.).
• Type of information flows and social networking services "Real Time Web" (Twitter) that allow each user to create his Web ("Web 2.0") and not to consult existing sites.

This (r) evolution of the Web sites does not eliminate the "Web 1.0" (and thus the need for "Accessibility 1.0") but calls regarding the accessibility of a new approach. Indeed, accessibility solutions exist but are based on additional technical expertise and knowledge of new uses Web.

The classical approach to accessibility 1.0 is no longer enough. You have to think and build a "Accessibility 2.0".
