Re: CFC - WCAG 3.0 Acknowledgements

Leonie,

Thank you for the request. Please see below.

Enhanced Acknowledgements Proposal

Goals:

• To have the names actually be more useful than just an undifferentiated list, but avoid the burden of maintaining specific individual contributions.
• To have sections of Acknowledgements with people’s names in the sections.  People can be in more than one section. With a sectioned list, it is possible to narrow down who was working on specific sections and make it easier to find individual accomplishments.


Here are the proposed sections.
Authors: People who wrote big swathes of WCAG3 and also the people who could be counted on to write small proposals that solved big problems.

Subgroup Leaders: From the Subgroup list on the wiki home page.  These people deserve lots of credit.  Ping Jeanne if they need to be updated.

Subgroup Participants: This could be grabbed from the Subgroup home pages where there is a participant list. We can ask the subgroup leaders to keep that list up to date.

Researchers: People whose research outside of task force/working group meetings were used in  the development of WCAG 3.  This is where I see people like Andy, Mike Crabb, Joshue, Francis, Jake, Cybele, Luis, Jemma, Sarah, Dave Sloan.

Participating Contributors: The people who regularly showed up, and especially participated and scribed. This should be the people that participated regularly for more than 6 months. Regularly should be defined as at least x (3-5? 6-8?) meetings per month on average.  I don’t mean to calculate each one, but in case it is challenged, we have that definition.
