Agree some will end up on specific page, not overview. Date was already there, e.g., "Last Updated: 4 April 2017 – Added Netherlands accessibility laws and policies." It's just not as clearly highlighted. Will consider for next update. Thanks.

Yes, it needs updating. Thankfully we recently got resources to update it. That should happen later this year.
I added an additional note to the top of the first page to help people know that it’s not the latest info now. ~Shawn

Use “Making Content Usable for People with Cognitive and Learning Disabilities” to make web sites and apps more accessible to more people. See:
Cognitive Accessibility at W3C, Supplemental Guidance - Content Usable

Integrated Description is an example of how addressing #accessibility *early* makes it cheaper, easier, and results in a better user experience for people with disabilities and everyone. e.g.:

Lots of people spent lots of time designing and coding it. (too many to tag)
Thanks so much for the encouragement!

“WCAG 3 is not expected to be a completed W3C standard for a few more years. And, for at least several years after WCAG 3 is finalized, WCAG 3 will not supersede WCAG 2 and WCAG 2 will not be deprecated.”

Thanks for sharing about the early, incomplete WCAG 3 draft.
For designers new to accessibility, I encourage these 2 starting points:
1. Introduction to Web Accessibility
w3.org/WAI/fundamentals/acce…
2. Tips for Getting Started Designing for Web Accessibility

Hi Jonathan. You shouldn't need a W3C login to view these pages:
w3.org/WAI/cognitive/
w3.org/WAI/GL/task-forces/co…
If you do want a login, it looks like the problem is that the “Login” only accepts *lowercase* letters and you have uppercase.
HTH,~Shawn
