Quickref Update 2015-04-14

(Sent to the mailing-lists individually to avoid accidental cross 
posting.)

Hi EOWG and WCAG!

I’m really getting excited about the quickref mockup[1] that we will 
steadily transform into a proper prototype in the next few weeks :-)

This is the first of a series of quickref update newsletters that I want 
to send out at least once every two weeks to keep you involved.

So, what happened over the last few weeks is documented in the wiki on 
Github:
https://github.com/w3c/wai-wcag-quickref/wiki/Changelog

The next steps are:

* Rearrange the page so filters are easier to discover
* Make search functionality easier to use
* Reflect filter status in the URL
* Save current status into a cookie
* Remove tags and use filters instead
* Add button to filter items that allows to show only that option, for 
example “Show only HTML” would unselect all other filters in that 
category

Heads-up: The EOWG will be conducting user testing this resource at 
AccessU and we hope to get a good feedback on the usability of the tool.

If you have any feedback, please either reply directly to me (ee@w3.org) 
or raise an issue[2] on Github. *Please note that this is fairly early 
in the process and the design will adapt greatly to functional changes.*
