Understanding document reviews

Hi everyone,

If you missed the WCAG call today here’s a brief overview of the process for commenting on Understanding documents for 2.1.

There is a survey for approval, but the initial stage is being handled (in a new-ish way) with github. NOT FOR CODE, just for comments.

The idea is:

  *   Go to the Github issue for an understanding document, e.g. Identify common purpose:
https://github.com/w3c/wcag21/issues/779


  *   It links to the SC text, and the latest understanding document in the very short description, these are the rendered versions, not code.

  *   Make any comments or updates there. If you have contributions, great, post them as comments, or create a google doc and link to it in a github comment.

  *   If there are updates to COGA related understanding docs, I’m happy to do those in the github HTML version, just let me know.

  *   If you are happy with the understanding document, you can approve it in the survey: https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/35422/Clearing_Understanding/


The three main COGA SCs understanding doc issue pages are here:

Identify common purpose: https://github.com/w3c/wcag21/issues/779

Timeouts: https://github.com/w3c/wcag21/issues/785

Identify purpose: https://github.com/w3c/wcag21/issues/780


However, you are very welcome (encouraged!) to review other people’s understanding docs as well. Full list:

Any questions, please let me know.

Kind regards,
