Looking For Contributors -- Developers to Write Methods in Plain Language

All,

We need the help of developers and auditors who would like to help write
methods for the Silver plain language prototype.

Sample WCAG 2.1 Success Criteria:

   - 2.4.10 Section Headings
   <https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/#section-headings>
   - 4.1.2 Name, Role, Value <https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/#name-role-value>
   - 1.3.3 Sensory Characteristics
   <https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/#sensory-characteristics>
   - 2.2.2 Pause, Stop, Hide <https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/#pause-stop-hide>

For each of these four success criteria, please consider how you might
explain implementation to a less-experienced developer.  You can presume
basic competency in HTML and JavaScript but not necessarily much knowledge
of digital accessibility.  You should also consider what was useful to you
when you were learning how to apply WCAG to your own work.

Your content would fit into a developer-specific part of the presented
information (you may use or change these headings, as you wish):
https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/1Y8BSG0xmzqEIJcKiewc2KSs3SrHwenLcmghQlZGQ28g/edit

Your structure is as important as your content, as we are using these
prototypes to consider how we might structure Silver.  So please indicate
the headings clearly, and try to keep these headings consistent across all
four sample success criteria.

We do *not* need you to address the content that is already in the "get
started" tab, such as the intent (why), or the definition of the success
criteria (what) or what disabilities are impacted (who).  Instead, we are
looking for samples that explain the How and the What's expected and other
important elements for developers.

Plain Language Prototype: as reference only

Some of the content will likely re-use Techniques content already written
for success criteria, so absolutely feel free to re-purpose hard work
already done!

Feel free to reach out on the mailing list with any questions you have
about this! Not picky about how we get the content, so use whatever format
works best for you to write things up. Maybe just send a note in response
claiming a guideline?

Much appreciated!
