There is now a public GIT repository containing the build process for producing the HTML5 specification. The build process and source for generating the HTML5+RDFa specification are also included. More details here: http://github.com/html5/spec/ For instructions on how one might use the repository to contribute changes, see the README: http://github.com/html5/spec/blob/e84bd4bd252ba7ec69cd9ef877eee78d3e90e2e4/README A couple of quick bullet-points: * Any member of WHAT WG or HTML WG that has agreed to the W3C Patent and Licensing Policy may have commit rights to the repository. * If you would like to collaborate on tools, test cases, examples or specification text, get a github account (free), join the HTML WG (free) and contact me. * There are 3 suggestions on etiquette for contributors, please read them. In short - don't stomp on anyone's work without their express permission. The tools to split and re-assemble the specification (as outlined in the Restructing HTML5 document[1]) are not yet available. I'll be writing and placing those tools in the HTML5 git repository in the coming month. Here is the current process that is used to build the specification: 1. Copy Ian's latest spec from WHAT WG's SVN repository. 2. Apply changes via a Python script to the copy of Ian's spec (such as inserting the RDFa spec text). 3. Running the Anolis post-processor on the newly modified spec. If you would just like to take the repository for a test spin, do the following: git clone git://github.com/html5/spec.git Let me know if there are any bugs, questions or concerns with the current setup. It will hopefully become more usable as the weeks progress. -- manu [1] http://html5.digitalbazaar.com/a-new-way-forward/ -- Manu Sporny (skype: msporny, twitter: manusporny) President/CEO - Digital Bazaar, Inc. blog: Bitmunk 3.1 Released - Browser-based P2P Commerce http://blog.digitalbazaar.com/2009/06/29/browser-based-p2p-commerce/
