Thoughts on how we might want to update this page:
- Look at short-term quick fixes, and longer re-doing all overview pages
- Related draft for accessibility basics from Suzette
- Previous WCAG section wording and comments - especially the info on Techniques
- meet needs of users coming from ISO - make clear ISO relationship and free
- @@...
- New comments @@Denis (2012/06/29)
- WCAG being now also known as ISO/IEC 40500 - make it clear that they both are the same now (mention translations)
- Remove the mentions to WCAG1 as they're now outdated
- Maybe mention the four founding principles of WCAG2
- Talk about ATAG and UAAG at the end of the page as this is a WCAG document
- Actualize the list of people wCAG is intended for by looking at WACEM's list
- Change "WAI plans to update Understanding WCAG 2.0 documents and Techniques for WCAG 2.0 periodically" to "WAI updates Understanding WCAG 2.0 documents and Techniques for WCAG 2.0 periodically".
- Mention the types of techniques that can be found (PDF, Flash, CSS, etc.)
- Make the document a little bit more conversational
- Maybe remove the second and third paragraphs from the last section (How develops WCAG)
