Thrilling read, and (in all seriousness) I’m glad to see the progress that’s been made with this document. However, while I consider myself to be fairly advanced in math and color theory, this particular section got stuck in my throat:

“1.4.1 Text or diagrams, and their background, must have a luminosity contrast ratio of at least 5:1.”

Sounds fairly straighforward, right? Well, the document goes on:

“How to Meet Success Criterion 1.4.1
luminosity contrast ratio
(L1+.05) / (L2+.05) where L is luminosity and is defined as .2126*R + .7152*G + .0722B using linearized R, G, and B values. Linearized R (for example) = (R/FS)^2.2 where FS is full scale value (255 for 8 bit color channels). L1 is the higher value (of text or background) and L2 is the lower value.”

Ummm… huh? Wait, what does the “^” symbol mean again? Is there a google translate for this? How is a graphic designer ever going to be able to determine luminosity contrast ratios? Most of us are just barely getting over hexidecimal numbers and web-safe colors!

Eventuallly I hope to integrate the webcam back. The comments are broken atm, but I’ll get that sorted soon. Stay tuned…

update: I got the iSight fired up and I’m feeding images to the site. Comments are still broken. (It’s not like anyone’s actually commenting!) Perhaps I should consult with my hosting.
