RE: CFC - Republish of WCAG 2.1

+1

 

(The respec shortName is causing the version links at the top to go to 2.2, but assuming that will be fixed, as well.)

Thanks everyone, it looks like a reference to 2.2 slipped in, we’ll do a pass on all “2.2”s in the doc before publication.

Also, +1 after the mentioned typo is fixed.

You may want to check for mention of WCAG 2.2 where it shouldn't be included. For example, the following is found under "Layers of Guidance":

* Success Criteria - For each guideline, testable success criteria are provided to allow WCAG 2.0  2.2  to be used ...
* Sufficient and Advisory Techniques - For each of the guidelines and success criteria in the WCAG 2.0  2.1  document itself...

This was the only place in the documentation where I saw this, but I could have missed an instance.

Call For Consensus — ends Monday July 31st at midday Boston time.

 

This call is to re-publish WCAG 2.1 to include all the errata since it was originally published in 2018.

 

There are various editorial updates (errata) to WCAG 2.1 that are not immediately visible to people looking at the main TR location: https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/

 

Republishing would make these updates available in the default location. 

 

The changes from the current published version are highlighted in this version:

https://services.w3.org/htmldiff?doc1=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2FTR%2FWCAG21%2F <https://services.w3.org/htmldiff?doc1=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2FTR%2FWCAG21%2F&doc2=https%3A%2F%2Flabs.w3.org%2Fspec-generator%2F%3Ftype%3Drespec%26url%3Dhttps%3A%2F%2Fraw.githack.com%2Fw3c%2Fwcag%2FWCAG-2.1-catchup%2Fguidelines%2Findex.html> &doc2=https%3A%2F%2Flabs.w3.org%2Fspec-generator%2F%3Ftype%3Drespec%26url%3Dhttps%3A%2F%2Fraw.githack.com%2Fw3c%2Fwcag%2FWCAG-2.1-catchup%2Fguidelines%2Findex.html 

 

Notable updates include the note for Parsing and updates to the red-flash definition.

 

3If you have concerns about this proposed consensus position that have not been discussed already and feel that those concerns result in you “not being able to live with” this decision, please let the group know before the CfC deadline.

 

Kind regards,

 

-Alastair
