http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=10646

           Summary: Home page is not general-public-friendly
           Product: HTML WG
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal

(Copied below)

I'd just like to draw attention to some posts by Shelley providing  
support for commenting on the specs:
    http://realtech.burningbird.net/reviewcomment-w3c-html5-specification
    http://realtech.burningbird.net/how-comment-and-when
   
http://realtech.burningbird.net/reviewcomment-w3c-html5-specification/html5-document-structure

I think these are really good and helpful, esp. for people new to the  
spec and the W3C. One thing I notice about the HTMLWG's home page:
    http://www.w3.org/html/wg/
is that it's *not* particularly friendly to such an audience (it's a  
more typical working WG page; there's not even a list of links to  
tutorials, or to these wikipedia pages:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML5
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_layout_engines_(HTML5)
something akin to the latter will be invaluable).

Given the wide and diverse reviewers expected and desired for last  
call, I think it would be very good to have a more friendly entry  
point. I know there are other sources of friendliness, so I don't  
think it necessarily requires a huge chunk of work on the WG's part.
