The first public Working Draft of WCAG 2.0 was published 25 January 2001. Since then, the WCAG WG has published nine Working Drafts, addressed more than 1,000 issues, and developed a variety of support information for the guidelines.

Exactly how these 1,000 issues were ""addressed"" is open to dispute. Start with the use of a Mozilla Bugzilla database as a front end for bug reports. It's a remarkably inaccessible form, and baffling even to a nondisabled expert. It's true that many, possibly hundreds, of bug reports were remedied by rewriting the spec, but it's also true that many bug reports were simply ignored (with responses that boiled down to ""We don't agree this is a bug"").

At time of writing, WCAG Bugzilla had [10]27 open bugs.
