Review A11y Project's hosted content
Created by: scottaohara
In an effort to ensure that The A11y Project's content is up-to-date, each hosted resource on the site should be reviewed to ensure code patterns are still relevant, links continue to work, and techniques are referencing the latest best practices.
If an article has been identified as needing an update, a new issue should be created and logged under the Content Updates for 2019 Milestone to track progress / request help from the community for updates.
If an article has recently been written, or received an update, then it can be checked off without further action.
If an article remains perfectly fine as-is, then it can be checked off without further action.
