Visual contrast

[michael-n-cooper]

Remove guideline for visual contrast of text, related content, and early draft methods.

Only this commit:

remove old draft methods...a8089d1

Solves the issues I've brought up previously, the materials that were never intended to be public facing.

All of the other commits remove materials that should not be removed, only UPDATED, and the updates are in pull request #630.

Why is visual contrast being deleted here? This is a whiolesale deletion, and I object.

This is a formal objection to this PR, except for the above cited commit.

Is the W3 no longer going to provide guideance on contrast?

Regards,

Andrew

I checked that the files being deleted are the prototypes and that we are not losing any current work.

@Myndex, these pages are old prototypes. That is the reason we kept missing them when marking pages as deprecated. They can be deleted. We are not removing Visual Contrast of Text from WCAG3 in this PR, just some old prototype pages that are causing confusion.

@jspellman

Thank you Jeanne, that wasn’t clear. I agree the old “pink” prototypes should be deleted as they have been causing actual problems. Some of the others “appeared” to be current working drafts.

With that said, PR #630 is a set of updates for visual contrast, intended for the current draft. I am now concerned that PR is not pointing to the correct files.

@Myndex the position of the files is the key. Any of these files in a /guidelines folder (in a subfolder) are a prototype. The current files are located in the /methods or /how-tos at the same level as the /guidelines

Exploratory content that does not gain WG support to proceed to the next stage within 6 months is automatically removed in the WCAG 3 development process. We still hope the promising contrast work will continue to mature for potential later inclusion.
