If anyone would like to edit anything, I'm more than happy to help getting people up to speed. There are literally dozens of critical specs in the Web standards space that desperately need more editors. So yes, please, if you can bring in more editors, do so. I work on the number of specs that is necessary to make good progress on all of the specs that I work on. This is why, for instance, I stay on schedule -- back in 2006 (before the W3C started work on HTML5), I predicted that we would reach zero open issues in the WHATWG in October 2009, and that is exactly what happened. Meanwhile, the W3C HTML WG was formed with the charter stating that Last Call (zero issues) would be reached in June 2008 -- at which point the HTMLWG's issue tracker was still more than a year from reaching its peak of open issues. So the numbers don't suggest that I'm overwhelmed with work, they suggest the HTML WG is overwhelmed with work. (I already said all this here: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2009Dec/0195.html ...but you didn't reply, and instead just repeated your statement again. I would appreciate it if we as a working group could rely on people not repeating arguments after they've already been responded to, without acknowledging those responses and adjusting the arguments accordingly.) -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
