This might be just me, but considering we're meant to be leading the forefront of internet technologies, everything seems rather dated. IRC and an old school mailing list? We must be able to find a better way to put together something as major as we're working on! It's too hard to organize ideas for everyone to look at them, we need a forum, a more up-to-date mailing list, an online chat service, online brainstorming, an ideas board, work in progress etc etc ... We can't do all that over IRC & a mailing list. How many new users do we reckon still use IRC? Lets update ourselves a little surely. I'm quite happy to go about setting all that up with someone, but I just feel we seem really old fashioned at the moment Ideas / comments / suggestions / design / hosting offers welcome ? Chair's comments especially for where we stand regarding W3C rules & regs. - Gavin -----Original Message----- From: public-html-request@w3.org [mailto:public-html-request@w3.org] On Behalf Of Murray Maloney Sent: 22 March 2007 15:50 To: public-html@w3.org Cc: Chris Wilson Subject: Straw man proposal to build an agenda/issue list Folks, While we are waiting for our chairs to lead us, perhaps we should start to form an agenda. I realize that there are a lot of topics to discuss and there seems to be a tendency toward free-form discussion, but I for one would appreciate some structure to our discussions. I would like to propose, as a straw-man, that we consider the latest W3C HTML WD as our baseline for discussion and develop a set of issues that speak to changes to that document. My hope is that we could progressively identify all of the problem areas as a separate task from solving the problems. If we can develop clear problem statements, using consistent language then it should be easier to identify and distinguish problems that are unique and those that are common to multiple areas of the WD. Obviously there will also be issues with the organization and structure of the WD itself, and those can be identified and written up in such a way as to facilitate decision-making by the Working Group. If there is support for this approach, I would ask for assistance with the process of gathering and collating comments with the goal of developing a preliminary issue list. Regards, Murray Maloney P.S. I have Cc'd this email to Chris Wilson to keep him somewhat aware of what is happening in the loop. Hopefully he and Dan will be interested in the results of this thread.
