https://w3c.github.io/ vs. https://www.w3.org/

Hello! I noticed that the WCAG Understanding docs appear on both https://w3c.github.io/wcag/understanding and https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Understanding.

For example:

• https://w3c.github.io/wcag/understanding/timing-adjustable.html
  • Includes guidance on toast messages from Updating an example for buttons. #813
• https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Understanding/timing-adjustable.html
  • Does not include guidance on toast messages

What is the difference between these two versions of the site? Is one considered "official" and the other a "draft", or is the GitHub version just updated more frequently? Thank you!

the .github.io is the rendered version of what's in the github repo, which always relates to the latest version working draft/version.

w3.org is the official published version.

for reference, it's not surprising in your case that the two differ (in this case, with the toast guidance), since the .io version now reflects WCAG 2.2 https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG22/Understanding/timing-adjustable.html (which does include the toast guidance)

Cool, that's good to know. Thank you!!
