[CSSWG] Announcement: Spec issues are migrating to GitHub issues

Hey all,



The working group has decided to move spec issues and discussions to GitHub issues in our drafts repository.

https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts


This is following a successful experiment in using GitHub for tracking Houdini issues that started last year [1]. You can watch the drafts repository if you’d like to see all the issue traffic via email, and/or subscribe or unsubscribe to individual issue threads. If you prefer, you can reply to these email notifications to post new comments in the issue threads - but if you do please cut out content you’re replying to. Threading of the conversation is handled by the GitHub UI, and long interleaved replies look redundant there.

GitHub issues will be tagged to associate them with their specification. So you’ll be able to filter issues in the GitHub UI to the specifications you’re interested in. You’ll also see whether particular issues are open or closed (with a changelist if the issue closure resulted in a spec change). I expect we’ll continue to experiment with other issue tracking affordances such as milestones. 

All GitHub issue traffic for the drafts repository is now being archived on a w3c mailing list [2]. It’s not recommended that you subscribe to the archive list, as you cannot reply to these messages to join the conversation.

The www-style mailing list will gradually be reduced to announcements and general discussions. It will take some time to make the transition. Please do not be alarmed if a thread you start here gets moved to GitHub, or if you’re asked to move a conversation to GitHub.

Thanks,

Alan Stearns
CSSWG Co-Chair
