Address open issues and pull requests asap
More info in https://www.w3.org/wiki//WAI/TechSupport#Updating_Quick_Ref
Lists with Filters
Laws & Policies List
resource: https://www.w3.org/WAI/policies/
Update ASAP to include known content updates. Coding/back-end effort and skill level: low?
Update in 2021 for WCAG 2.2. Effort and skill level: low?
from Hidde: "It’s all done in Jekyll, with custom JavaScript to make the filters work. Redoing in Svelte may be easier once one of the other lists is successfully ported and we’ve figured out the UI and code aspects of it."
from Shawn: "In addition to consistency, I suspect that a major motivation for updating it will also be to make the submission easier from a user perspective, and also make process of reviewing and updating submissions easier."
