I’m saying that the issues have to be *solvable*, at this stage I wouldn’t object if there are potential solutions that are not fleshed out yet. (This relates to number 9 on the SC requirements.) But there has to be some solution that a site-owner / content-author can reasonably use in 2017/2018.





> The attitude of vet and throw out does not work



Some of the feedback for ones I’m involved with has definitely given me the feeling of: “urg, why are you just bringing up problems, how would you write it?!”



Some people are very good at saying: “I think this is a problem and here’s how I think it could work.” Some stop at the first step, but I put that down to them not having much time.



Overall I consider the reviews from the group are a 1st pass, and if *we* struggle with it, the reaction from a wider audience at FPWD will be far less… considerate. (I remember seeing a draft of WCAG 2.0 in 2006/7 from the outside, and not being surprised by Joe Clark’s reaction.)





> We need to put our heads together on these user needs and SC's and make them work.



Agreed, and it is difficult to go from user-requirement to content requirement. I committed to several SCs from the LVTF because I could see how they could work, and my experience with front-end code was useful there.



It sounds like you need some more people with SC writing (and/or web development) experience to help out?



Group: Is anyone available? Doesn’t have to be as an SC manager, just concentrate on a couple of SCs to understand it and contribute wording.



I should be able to pick one next week, if my current ones are dealt with.

Me to, I officially joined in 2014, so this is also my first time around on WCAG SCs as well.
