The checklist and the mapping between WCAG 1.0 and WCAG 2.0 were removed
from the WCAG 2.0 specification some time before it became a Last Call
Working Draft. Usually, the Education & Outreach Working Group (EOWG)
develops this kind of materials.
For a checklist, you can go to
<http://webaim.org/standards/wcag/checklist>;. (In the past, many people
have argued against "checklist accessibility", but read this:
<http://www.karlgroves.com/2011/04/12/in-defense-of-checklist-accessibility/>;.)

"How to Meet WCAG 2.0" at <http://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG20/quickref/>; is a
quick reference to the WCAG 2.0 techniques and failures.

Best regards,

Christophe
