Re: Could we add "Persona Quotes" as a standard part of the Understanding Documents for WCAG 2.1?

Laura,

I think we should put the persona quotes in them.   I've gotten great
feedback from people I've presented the persona quotes to.  They say it
makes it so much easier to understand the point of the new SCs.

And...I have added a persona quote to 'Understanding 2.3.3 Animation from
Interactions'.   It is out on the 'animation-from-interactions' branch and
will need to be merged into the master.  But you can see it at
https://rawgit.com/w3c/wcag21/animation-from-interactions/understanding/21/animation-from-interactions.html


I also saw that Shawn Henry had added it to   Understanding 1.4.12 Text
Spacing.  Look for it on the text-spacing branch at
https://rawgit.com/w3c/wcag21/text-spacing/understanding/21/text-spacing.html


+1 to adding Persona Quotes to all the understanding docs!
