Otherwise, writing a tutorial would be like trying to fork jello. Because of that, I volunteered/signed up to review a few sections of the proposed specification while waiting. I received confirmation of my sign-up on 6/14: This list of sections to review is based on v1.78 of Thu Jun 7 00:53:39 2007 UTC of the editor's draft of the HTML 5 spec , with some arbitrary choices about which subsections to lump together. * [ ] 1. Introduction * [ ] 2. The Document Object Model * [x] 3.1. Introduction (Semantics and structure of HTML elements) * [ ] 3.2. Common microsyntaxes * [ ] 3.3. Documents and document fragments * [ ] 3.4. Global attributes * [ ] 3.5. Interaction * [ ] 3.6. The root element * [ ] 3.7. Document metadata * [ ] 3.8. Sections * [ ] 3.9. Prose * [ ] 3.10. Preformatted text * [x] 3.11. Lists * [ ] 3.12. Phrase elements * [ ] 3.13. Edits * [ ] 3.14. Embedded content (subsection 1-4, figure to embed) * [ ] 3.14.5. The object element (and o 3.14.6. The param element) * [ ] 3.14.7. The video element * [ ] 3.14.8. The audio element * [ ] 3.14.9. Media elements * [ ] 3.14.10. The source element * [ ] 3.14.11. The canvas element * [ ] 3.14.12. The map element thru 3.14.14. Image maps * [x] 3.15. Tabular data * [x] 3.16. Forms * [ ] 3.17. Scripting * [ ] 3.18. Interactive elements (inc. datagrid) * [x] 3.19. Miscellaneous elements (legend, div) * [ ] If you would prefer that I work on writing tutorials BEFORE we have an agreed-upon specification, I can drop my review and start tutorial work on whatever section you'd like me to start on.
