Rick - great to see you join! I’m looking forward to evolving the sensors APIs together in this group.

To make collaboration easier, I was thinking of migrating the Editor’s Draft of the Ambient Light Events spec from Hg to GitHub unless someone shouts.

Dom - could you create the following repo for the spec under the W3C org?

https://github.com/w3c/ambient-light

[Using the spec shortname as the repo name here.]

> Given the brevity of the specification it might be simplest to edit the draft and then share on the list that draft for review - perhaps it is best to coordinate with Anssi who is an editor of this specification on next steps.

I suggest we use GH and the fork and pull model that makes it easier to review multiple proposals side by side.

Rick - I guess you’d prefer GH as well? The group could review and propose changes to PRs before we merge.

This should get you started with ReSpec:

  https://github.com/w3c/respec

The docs are at:

  http://w3c.github.io/respec-docs/

ReSpec may have some undocumented features, so ping me for help if needed. There’s also the official support channel (http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/spec-prod/) and its archives are often a helpful resource too.

Thanks,
