Re: Guidelines for editing the CSS testsuite with github

Gérard,

Saying to Geoffrey "When will the documentation on GitHub be updated and reliable? " is about as reasonable as my asking you "When will all the CSS tests be updated and reliable?". It is a community effort, and we all need to work together to improve things.

Technically, it is better to point out specific problems with documentation. Then there can be discussion, and once there is consensus on how to correct it, the documentation can be updated (by whomever gets around to it first).

Socially, please see https://www.w3.org/Consortium/cepc/

Both of you have contributed greatly to CSS testing. Look forward to continuing to work with both of you in the future.
