I was interested in telling some peers how many open issue we have, so I took a look... http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues Since we started using tracker, it's been enhanced to distinguish "raised" from "open". I'm inclined to let "open" mean we have a clear plan or next step for working on it, vs "raised" which means it's probably an issue but nobody has volunteered to address it or move it forward. We have 40 issues, including dups etc.; the updated breakdown is: 7 open issues 3 HTML 5 spec issues 3 HTML Principles/Requirements issues 1 with no associated product 13 closed issues 2 W3C publications 1 HTML Principles/Requirements issue 4 HTML 5 spec (closed by the editor; tests and WG decision pending) 6 dup/oops issues 20 raised issues We're approaching the point where we can use this issues list to measure progress and estimate the schedule of the project, though I wonder how many issues remain uncaptured, and the correlation between discussion topics in email and the state of the issue tracker is still not as good as I'd like. Our issue handling process leaves a lot of room for improvement. I suppose now is as good a time as any to discuss it, though (a) I'm about done for the day and (b) Chris Wilson is on holiday for another week or so. So please allow a couple days to a couple weeks for responses. -- Dan Connolly, W3C http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/ gpg D3C2 887B 0F92 6005 C541 0875 0F91 96DE 6E52 C29E
