Hi all, as mentioned previously[0] the public-html-testsuite people have moved the HTML test suite to GitHub[1] and start on reorganising everything. A short update on the progress: • We've made good progress on processing the submissions backlog and turning them into accepted tests. If your company is one of those listed here[2] we'd still like your help in continuing this movement though. • The new process to provide new tests is to simply fork the repository and make a pull request. We've received 30 of those, 22 of which have been processed. • Two of those were from people in the community at large. We're hoping to keep spreading the word to make that happen more. With Tobie Langel joining W3C to work on testing full time, we expect to very soon have the documentation and paraphernalia required to make that happen. The TestTWF people are also being very helpful. • The tests are mirrored on W3C's test server[3]. • We've been working on assessing test coverage in order to know where to focus efforts. You can see preliminary results from that[4]. • Note that we now have 11.6K tests for HTML and ~730 for canvas. It's not bad but it certainly needs some love and focus over the coming months. I can't encourage you enough to get involved. If you want to see the CR turn into a Rec on schedule, then you should help with the testing. If you want to make this the best spec it can be, then you should help with the testing. If you're a hacker trying to make a name for her/himself as a top notch Web/standards/HTML expert, then testing is one of the best ways to get there. Come and write some tests!
