CfC: Set up automatic WD publication for the WG's deliverables

Hi Second Screen WG,

This is a Call for Consensus to set up automatic Working Draft (WD) publication for the Working Group’s deliverables [1], currently:

Presentation API
Remote Playback API
Open Screen Protocol
Multi-Screen Window Placement (subject to successful First Public Working Draft publication)

In scope of this CfC is also any deliverable that may be added to the WG in the future.

In practice this means that when an Editor’s Draft is updated a new Working Draft is automatically published at https://w3.org/TR/{shortname}


This publication practice adopted by many WGs ensures a spec hosted at "TR space” (that is indexed high by many search engines) reflects the latest version. Publishing a spec on any other maturity level [2] still requires a WG decision (e.g. via a CfC) and is a manual process.

In our experience, this automation helps editors by automating the publication task, increases the editorial quality of the publications by means of an automatic validation step, and makes it easier for the consumers of the specs to find the latest specification version.

If you have any comments, questions or concerns with this proposal, please respond by 13 Apr 2022.

Thanks,

-Anssi (Second Screen WG/CG co-chair)
