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

I don't see this as a way to get community getting involved but more to 
make sure that if people have concerns or issues with the spec there is 
visibility in that we are addressing them. It also removes the potential 
for argument that it shouldnt be in our head.

Since people can subscribe to components in bugzilla, other people not 
part of the working group or its mailing list, can also see what we are 
up to. Good idea for those thinking of joining but can't for some reason 
at the moment.
