https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=16442 --- Comment #2 from tchalvakspam@gmail.com <tchalvakspam@gmail.com> 2012-03-20 07:42:06 UTC --- (In reply to comment #1) > The default multi-page view of the spec is at http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/ Let me reframe the problem, then: I arrived at the spec via a google search for "html5 spec article" With a google results page of: https://www.google.com/search?num=20&hl=en&channel=fs&pws=0&q=html5+spec+article Showing as the first result is this blurb: HTML5 dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html Editor's Draft 7 March 2012. Latest Published Version: http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/; Latest Editor's Draft: http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html; Previous ... Note that the link is to "spec/Overview.html", which immediately redirects to the all-in-one-page spec. The apparent-ness of a connection between an overview and all the many sections of the spec on one page is tenuous at best. Regardless, the first result in google -was- the single page spec. Loading the page itself displays no easy alternative link to a sectioned document, at least above the fold. The result is that the de facto standard for searching for information from the spec leads directly to a page that will take a very long time to load, and may even cause the browser itself to crash, without a clear alternative location to attempt to use after the first visible section has loaded. Overall, a pretty bad user experience, and one I expect will decrease use of the spec as a authoritative primary resource for new developers. Other pages where the all-on-a-single-page-spec is the first link: https://www.google.com/search?num=20&hl=en&channel=fs&pws=0&q=html5+spec+section https://www.google.com/search?num=20&hl=en&channel=fs&pws=0&q=html5+spec+progress https://www.google.com/search?num=20&hl=en&channel=fs&pws=0&q=html5+spec+time The list goes on. -- Configure bugmail: https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
