> I’d like to suggest that y’all very strongly consider not setting up such a replacement server but instead just having everything served from https://w3c.github.io/csswg-drafts/ URLs — just as we do with all our other working groups — and stop there. I disagree with that part. Using GitHub (or whatever) to generate the site is fine, but serving it from a URL we control is preferable. I don't foresee GitHub going out of business tomorrow, but neither is it wise to count on a business keeping things things as they are, and free, forever. It might stay, it might change, it might be discontinued eventually. And for anyone saying I'm paranoid, please see https://www.failory.com/google/code or https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/yahoo-announces-shutdown-social-platform-034108123.html. I don't care what back-end we use to make our service work, and I'm totally OK with it being powered by GitHub pages if that's the most convenient thing these days. But keeping control of the domain name and URL space is a good thing. -- GitHub Notification of comment by frivoal Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/12054#issuecomment-3841429447 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
