hot off the press...the first public draft of WCAG 3.0 đŸ€Ż

how is it different from 2.0 you ask?
- uses plain language
- user-need oriented instead of technology-oriented
- more tests that are granular + flexible
- new rating system: gold, silver, bronze

more info from the W3C/WAI group on this major overhaul...not sure what others think, but I welcome these more user-friendly, user-focused changes 😊

note: this is still an incomplete, unpolished draft version...more changes will inevitably come https://www.w3.org/WAI/standards-guidelines/wcag/wcag3-intro
a BIG thanks to all the people who worked hard to bring these changes! be sure to check out the contributors/editors/researchers list and reach out and thank them 👏👏👏
