RE: Document repositories have been set up

Hi Laurent,

The general W3C recommendation is to set up one repository per document. I understand that it can get confusing. I think that whether we have one large repo for all issues or one repo for each document, there are pros and cons.

But, I do agree that issues relating to our specs should not be posted on the GitHub repository that houses our website.

For an overview of our repositories, please see [1], which you can access from the Repositories link on our Web site [2]. I agree that the issues listed on publ-wg should probably be transferred to https://github.com/w3c/wpub. I will work on that this week.

Please note that https://github.com/w3c/publ-wg is not an outdated repo, but it is a fully active repo to which we can contribute to populate our website. Additions and comments welcome!

Dear members of the WG,

The creation of the new "w3c/wpub" repo whilst the previous "w3c/publ-wg" stays active is a cause of concerns. Hadrien Gardeur just told me that he has spotted 5 active issues on the "publ-wg" repo. And I have opened an issue for discussion on the "wpub" repo.

There is no real differentiation between the issues treated in the different repos. Therefore we need to be very clear about which repo should be used for discussing Web publications, and move the existing issues on the chosen repo.

-> Question to the chairs: which repo is chosen?


Note that CSSWG has one repo for ~60 specifications.

I fear confusion about which repo an issue should be opened in. And perhaps more seriously, how do we talk about issues related to the interaction between the specs? How do we talk about differing a11y requirements for EPUB4 vs PWP? It's so easy to put multiple labels on an issue in a single repo.
