The following email outlines the updates proposed and implemented by the WCAG 2 Task Force. It provides a two-week window for Working Group members to review non-normative WCAG 2 updates, and consists of changes in several categories. # How to provide feedback on the following changes For proposed substantive or editorial changes: 1. Give a thumbs up on the Pull Request description to agree. We are looking for at least four +1 votes (activating the 👍 emoji) for substantive or errata changes. 2. Or provide feedback in the conversation thread to request changes. * Based on feedback, those changes will be merged or brought back for another review. * For proposed draft responses to issues, give a thumbs up or comment. * If you spot a problem with an implemented bug fix, open a new issue. # Proposed editorial errata changes (changes that do not meaningfully alter informative language in a normative document) None this cycle. # Proposed substantive changes (changes that meaningfully add or alter existing non-normative guidance) * remove reference to td elements with scope attributes https://github.com/w3c/wcag/pull/4785 * G82: Change "the" to "interactive" in title https://github.com/w3c/wcag/pull/4764 * 3.3.2 - Form control labels using non-text content https://github.com/w3c/wcag/pull/4626 * 3.1.2 Language of Parts - Computed acc name clarification + ambiguous example https://github.com/w3c/wcag/pull/4423 * Expand title of H54 https://github.com/w3c/wcag/pull/4812 # Proposed editorial changes (small improvements to language intended to clarify existing guidance) * Re-phrased Example 1 description for F33 technique https://github.com/w3c/wcag/pull/4758 * Updated "A document collection" example since obsolete - SC 2.4.2 https://github.com/w3c/wcag/pull/4631 * Add "text" to the ARIA8 requirement description https://github.com/w3c/wcag/pull/4811 # Proposed responses to issues (for which we are not going to create a PR) * SC 2.4.4 Link Purpose (In Context) and multiple links with identical link text https://github.com/w3c/wcag/issues/4762#issuecomment-3571108286 # Implemented bug fixes (already incorporated trivial editorial and technical corrections such as typos and broken links) * Chore: code cleanup https://github.com/w3c/wcag/pull/4847 # How to participate in future task force work * Attend Friday call. https://www.w3.org/groups/tf/wcag2x-backlog/calendar/ * Participate asynchronously in GitHub discussions. https://github.com/w3c/wcag/discussions * Self-assign issues on the project board. https://github.com/orgs/w3c/projects/56/views/1 * Subscribe to Listserv: public-wcag2-issues@w3.org. # Completed changes A table showing all merged changes by date is available. https://github.com/orgs/w3c/projects/56/views/7 -- Patrick H.
