Re: Use of W3 Bugzilla on WebDriver Spec - Should we?

Hi,

The W3C bugzilla seems like a good idea as the hg repo is hosted there. One
thing to consider is who we're expecting to see bug reports and patches to
the specs/tests from. If it's browser vendors alone, then this will be
fine. If we're thinking of community involvement, then it might also be
good to allow patches/bugs to be reported on a site such as Google Code,
BitBucket or even GitHub (though the lack of mercurial there doesn't weigh
in its favour)
