This wiki provided project planning milestones for the W3C Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 3.0. This repository has been retired. Please see the Project Plan in the new repository.
- WCAG 3 Timeline
- WCAG 3 List of Core Issues to Address
- WCAG 3.0 Maturity Labelling Process - decision policy for approving and publishing parts of WCAG3
- WCAG3 Editors Draft
- WCAG3 Latest Working Draft
- Github repository - the main Github repository for WCAG3 documents and archival prototypes
- Previous Github repository - the historical Github repository for WCAG3 documents and archival prototypes
- This Wiki - the information for each milestone including point of contact, IRC channel, minutes, issues, research, key decisions, and archival documents
- Projects
- Foundational Work - basic topics: requirements, structure, and conformance
- Scoring - measurement, critical errors, weighting
- Content Creation - migrating WCAG 2 content and writing new guidelines
- Guidelines - placeholder groupings of WCAG 2.1 success criteria for planning purposes.
- Projects are divided into milestones and organized by stage in the process.
- "Milestones" are a selection of topics that need to be completed in a specific order.
- Milestones provide a way to organize our work but are not permanent. Milestones may be added, closed, reorganized, or renamed when needed.
- Each Milestone has an associated wiki page, irc channel or Topic name, milestone label in github to group issues, and row on the schedule. These should all have the same name.

WCAG 3 subgroups are small and temporary groups within the Accessibility Guidelines Working Group (AGWG), which are set up to work on proposals for specific topics or issues. Each subgroup has 4 to 6 members, including a facilitator, and will work for 8 weeks to come up with a proposal for AGWG. For details, read the subgroup handbook.
