Hi all, Why can't there be a 'proposal tracker' implemented that is open to anyone in the working group to add proposals to, via a form perhaps that asks for certain information about the proposal, so it can then be evaluated and debated by WG members? It could also provide a mechanism whereby WG members could 'vote' for the proposal to be moved to the raised section of the issue tracker, thereby providing a process for raising issues. something like this is in place in the editors "inbox" interface: http://www.whatwg.org/issues/ (be aware if you are only able to use internet exploerer then you won't be able to access this), but this is outside of the W3C/HTML WG process and at the whim of the editor it appears. Such a mechanism should reduce any feeling of disenfranchisement that individual members may feel and provide and provide a clear route and repository for the many ideas that get lost in the mailing list at present. I for one would be happy to be a part of a "proposals task force" to monitor and maintain this. How problematic would it be to set up a duplicate of the current issue tracker? regards stevef
