As Karl recently pointed out in www-html, we're now more than 300 on the mailing-list... Not only we don't know who is really who but we don't know who is planning to really participate and who's just visiting. This 300+ number just scares me. It already seems old to me, but in my comments on the first charter, I proposed to adapt the "in good standing" status for this WG. Here's what I have in mind : have two different status for people in this WG, "participant" and "observer". Everyone is "observer" by default, meaning you're receiving the mailing-list. Only "participants" can post to the mailing-list. Moving to "participant" requires an action from the member, namely check a box in a web page and click on Apply. It should also be possible to move back to "observer" (maybe not for W3C full members). I have no idea if this is feasible in the w3c admin system, but I think it would help us a bit manage the whole thing. I am just thinking at loud here, so please no flame in return. </Daniel> -- PS: /me waves at CyraReceived on Wednesday, 11 April 2007 06:22:08 UTC
