[Athen] WCAG 2.0 vs 508 Refresh Mapping

Hello,

I know there were areas where we could all find or create a mapping between
the old Seciton 508 standards and WCAG 2.0.

However, with the Section 508 Refresh now in place using WCAG and 255, does
anyone know where someone may have already battled mapping the new
standards to WCAG to show the comparison? I like to use this as a visual
when working with vendors and when we report out on our findings. That way
regardless of what standard the vendor is stating they are using they can
see how it measures across the board.

I use the Microassist
<https://www.microassist.com/digital-accessibility/section-508-and-wcag/>
page but it doesn't show a true mapping.

I'm looking for something more like what Access Board
<https://www.access-board.gov/guidelines-and-standards/communications-and-it/about-the-ict-refresh/background/comparison-table-of-wcag2-to-existing-508-standards>
or
TomJewett's <http://www.tomjewett.com/accessibility/508-WCAG2.html> site
showed.
