Re: Getting mild normative changes in before 2.2 is finalised

Hello Patrick,

The short answer is yes. We have a standing Friday meeting at 11 Eastern that will be shifting to working off WCAG 2 issues and PRs going forward. Alastair will be leading this meeting and is currently on vacation but I expect you will see more about this shift and requests for additional participation coming out in the next few weeks.

Kind regards,

Rachael

    Hey all,

    as the CFC of 2.2 is now out, can we please also try to make some 
    decision on long-standing pull requests that make slight tweaks to 
    normative aspects/definitions? These have been parked because they're 
    less immediately actionable than PRs concerning techniques or 
    non-normative understanding aspects...but if they're left much longer, 
    we'll be back to the same situation of not being able to make updates 
    until a future errata version for 2.2 ...

    Purely looking over my 44 PRs (some 3+ years old) 
    https://github.com/w3c/wcag/pulls/patrickhlauke that are sitting on the 
    pile of 171 open PRs, here's four that I think veer into normative changes:

    * Change touch target to just target https://github.com/w3c/wcag/pull/1485


    * Expand/clarify "single pointer" definition 
    https://github.com/w3c/wcag/pull/809


    * Alternative rewording of the normative text for 1.4.2 Audio control 
    https://github.com/w3c/wcag/pull/1825


    * Consistency: "Resize text" > "Resize Text" 
    https://github.com/w3c/wcag/pull/1941 (this one is arguably just 
    editorial, as it purely changes the case of the word "text")

    I really don't want these to end up once again on the "we can't change 
    it anymore now..."
