To be frank, I don't know. I would describe it as "agreeing on and describing interfaces so you can write software for the web". And then I would write a couple more pages. And then I would spend a few days trying to turn them back into a couple of paragraphs with pointers to more information. If I had more time. As Björn said, knowing which things are difficult would help prioritising them. The mail list is hardest and I would be surprised if that is ever achieved. The specifications, the group's pages, can be worked on. Specific suggestions are always welcome, of course. Bear in mind that "simple" and "clear" are words which have wildly different meanings to different people... cheers Chaals -- Charles McCathieNevile, Opera Software: Standards Group hablo español - je parle français - jeg lærer norsk chaals@opera.com Try Opera 9 now! http://opera.com
