I also find notes about the state of the current discussion very useful but I doubt many editors would have the time to keep those notes up-to-date... Hi All, Thanks for the feedback! Having only seen positive responses to this proposal, if applicable, I think all Editors should add some "participation" data to their spec's boilerplate. Hallvord added the following "Participate" block to the Clipboard API boilerplate and I like what he did: [[ <http://www.w3.org/TR/2014/WD-clipboard-apis-20140918/> Participate: Read past discussions <http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/> Browse open bugs <https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/buglist.cgi?product=WebAppsWG&component=Clipboard%20API%20and%20events&resolution=---> File a bug <https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/enter_bug.cgi?product=WebAppsWG&component=Clipboard+API+and+events> ]] If Editors would like me to file related bugs for their specs, please let me know and I'll do so. -Thanks, AB
