Dan is right on many front... (it usually true:-) - I personally do not see a problem this being done on ESW, this does not mean any type of formal 'Association' with W3C (giving you a writing right is a matter of setting up a user for you and sending, eg, me or dan a mail to add you to the accepted editors' list) - Indeed, I am experimenting with a MediaWiki for SW Standards. We still have to decide what the 'policy' should be on that, ie, whether it is fine to give pages for such projects. Personally I think it is o.k. but it is not entirely my call, as you can imagine. I will certainly try to clear this up but, with vacations looming and I myself on a trip right now, it may not be clear before 2010. In both cases these are only wiki pages. Google's offer is larger with a mailing list and such. Yes, W3C is also looking at Mercurial and such, but that is further down the line than the wiki.
