Feedback on specific documents

You can submit comments on specific documents through GitHub or email:

  • For WAI web pages under w3.org/WAI/ — the links are in the ‘Help improve this page’ box near the bottom of the page.

If you cannot determine where to send comments on a specific document, email wai@w3.org with the document name in the subject line and the permission to send your email to a publicly-archived email list. We will forward your message to the appropriate place.
