Hey all, On last Tuesday's call I brought up the idea to start using ACT Rules in the effort of writing techniques for WCAG 2.1. The ACT Task Force is currently exploring how we can start taking public contributions of rules from groups such as Auto-WCAG, validate them, and make them part of the WAI ecosystem. Ideally we'd use these test rules as an updated form of failure techniques. That way AGWG won't have to write failure techniques for WCAG 2.1 at all. We'd use the test rules for this instead. To demonstrate how this might work I tried put an Auto-WCAG WCAG 2.1 test rule that is currently in draft in the techniques template. This wasn't a perfect fit. I added a few sections, and changed one thing around, but over all I thought it worked quite well. So my question to the group would be: 1. Are the changes I'm proposing we make to accommodate test rules as techniques acceptable, and if not, what should be changed? 2. Would AGWG like for the ACT Task Force to start contributing test rules to the techniques? You can find my example in a Github pull request. Again, this is an example of a draft rule, it isn't complete yet. https://github.com/w3c/wcag/pull/381 -- *Wilco Fiers* Senior Accessibility Engineer - Co-facilitator WCAG-ACT - Chair Auto-WCAG
