Hi all.

Please can I ask what your recommendations are regarding WCAG 2.2? How
active should each discipline be (front end, QA, visual design, BA) in
terms of including it in their processes? Should we focus on 2.1 instead
and wait for any official announcement?


Thanks


Julius

2.2. isn't even finalised, and the proposed new SCs may well change or
even be dropped completely. And 2.2 builds on 2.1, so it's only really
introducing additional SCs, but the rest is the same (with the exception
of changes of levels for some old 2.1 SCs).

Long story short: focus on 2.1. And when 2.2 is actually
finalised/released, look at the new SCs that it introduces/subtle
changes to any 2.1 SCs it brings.

Thanks, Patrick.

This is helpful to know - focus on 2.1 an look at 2.2 when it is
finalised / released.
