Right, I don't know quite what the specific concern here is, but other projects use github that require a CLA before contributing (e.g. Django), so it seems that in practice one can successfully use the github model and require license agreements to be filled in before contributions are accepted. Indeed it might be possible to set up the repo to reject commits from people not on a W3C-maintained whitelist. >> There are members of the w3c that won't sign up to just go look at random >> open source code on GitHub. I don't really understand this objection. They would sign up to contribute tests to the testsuite. They would be free to assiduously ignore everything else on github.
