I came across this WCAG 2.0 checklist, but it was created when the Guidelines were draft. http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/WD-WCAG20-20060427/appendixB.html
I have not been able to find similar since 2.0 became recommendation. Does anyone know if one exists on the w3.org website? I've looked and looked, but maybe I've just missed it. Does anyone else have a favorite "checklist" they use? I am familiar with the on WebAIM.org.
Thank you,

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

Indeed the checklist for WCAG 2.0 is "How to Meet WCAG 2.0: A customizable quick reference..." at:
http://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG20/quickref/
We are collecting requirements and ideas for the next generation of that (including making it work better as a checklist in different situations), and welcome your ideas to = EMAIL ADDRESS REMOVED =
Christophe:
The updated mapping between WCAG 1.0 & 2.0 is at http://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG20/from10/comparison/
All:
The best place to start for information related to WCAG is the Overview at http://www.w3.org/WAI/intro/wcag
If you can't find something from there, please let me know -- and CC = EMAIL ADDRESS REMOVED = to have it publicly archived or = EMAIL ADDRESS REMOVED = if you don't want it public.

Christophe, thank you for the link to the "in dense of checklist" article. We are trying to bring accessibility testing to our website/application building process, and a checklist is the preferred methodology to make sure we cover as many bases as possible. The repeatability, and defensibility of these efforts is an important aspect of the process. But as the article says, "checklist quality is critical". Thus my search.
