Subject: *DRAFT* Seeking CSS Review of Web Platform Docs

>We're still in alpha phase, but we have been focused on improving our

>If you are willing to review even one page, that would be a great help.
>We welcome general comments, as well as comments on:
>* correctness and validity of information
>* completeness of information
>* usability and structure of articles (too much information? not enough?
>presented in the wrong order?)
>* general utility of presentation
>
>If you also find yourself correcting mistakes and even creating
>examples, tutorials, or articles... so much the better!
>
>If you are willing to participate in this review, please get in touch
>with Julee Burdekin (CCed), who will be coordinating the review to make
>sure that the right articles get the right amount and type of review.
>
>If you know others who would be willing to do this review, please feel
>free to pass this email along!
>
>
>After we incorporate your review and have solid docs, we will ask for a
>second round of review from the editors of the specification themselves,
>to make sure that we have captured the nuances of the features.
>
>Once the documentation is refined and polished, the main task will be
>updating it with new information and new technologies. At this point, it
>will be much easier to manage and to get help from spec editors and
>working groups in guiding doc development for emerging specs, which will
>in turn make it easier for you (and an even wider set of designers and
>developers) to be informed about these new technologies and to learn how
>to use them... and to provide feedback into the functionality.
>
>We are very excited by the prospect of having this active, living
>feedback loop, and we hope you can help us make it happen.
