You’re right, it is difficult with the many pages.  We will include a link to the github “compare” view in the future, which won’t help everyone as it is looking at the XML sources, but there is information about the changes entered as descriptions for the various commits that constitute the differences between the current working draft and the master branch.

Right, we would need to make sure to point people to the right branch, which seems to be the issue you found.  If you did know to look at the current working branch it would welcome your comments there through February 10, 2016.  https://github.com/w3c/wcag/tree/Working-Branch-for-Q1-2016

Ha!  The process has always been unusual, at least since I joined the group.  We have discussed restructuring how the techniques are authored and generated, but haven’t had the time to get that project moving.

Always welcome. The next public review (for the September publication date) will be in July, but we accept comments/pull requests 24/7/365.
