This is a draft list of possibilities. Anyone is welcome to add ideas, or send them to Shawn to add.

Background:

WAI – accessibility icon set

Effort: medium-low
Priority: medium
Contact: Shawn
Status: First pass complete. pending next steps

new Comm icon set request, old Comm/Tanya icon set request

W3C-wide images

W3C spec stack

Effort: high (requires getting updated data. potentially lots of reviewers)
Priority: high (to Judy)
Contact: Judy

spec stack — Update content and fix accessibility.

W3C – rainbow

Contact: Judy

WAI - components

Effort: complex
Priority: ?low
Contact: Shawn

Consider updating the components images.

  • That visual style is old and doesn't match the new website.
  • The image information itself is out-dated: Content & user agents & authoring tools are no longer so clearly distinct — so probably we don't even want those same images. Opening this up would be a time- and resource-consuming venture. (SLH not keen seeing that as a priority right now)
  • They do have some recognition, and that should be considered.
  • Note: A volunteer (who is self-identified non-expert in graphics or SVG) made these into SVG in June 2019. Would be good to have QA check and maybe polishing.

WAI - misc site images

other page link icons

Effort: low
Priority: high-medium
Contact: Shawn

_@@ this needs to be updated _Previously we had icons indicating links off the WAI main site (e.g., to /TR/ pages), and links off the W3C site. They were kinda ugly. [@@link to them] Current design ones are way too strong. Need to decide if we still want both indications (and also what the alt text is).

Revise old images to new style

4 in Planning & Managing 3 in Tips - writing, designing, developing (which currently looks like a bug in the heading markup to Shawn :-)

Overview pages images

Effort: medium-low
Priority: low
Contact: Shawn

Idea from Josh for overview page: "Actually those three (very useful sections) could do with little graphics, they could be put in their own box out with a First Aid graphic, a planning type graph, some guy with a chart - and a picture of some people."

Note: If we add images to that overview page, we probably want to add images on all or most of the other overview pages.
