Re: Older Resources pages

Hi Vicki,

So if I understand you correctly, you are proposing to create this new 
page instead of the slides (at least until they are updated)?

That approach would work for me. I would just suggest to also add the 
information on "relevance of the WAI guidelines", which is useful too.

Best,
   Shadi
