Hi, Chris- A few more comments... * "How we’re working, at WebPlatform.org" This seems clumsy to me... I don't know if it's the comma, or what. Maybe "Workflow at Web Platform Docs" or "Getting Stuff Done at Web Platform Docs", or just removing the comma. * "discussion methods" This link leads to [TEST:discuss]. Please move this page into the WPD namespaces, and link to it from [WPD:Index]. * "including IRC, and a mailing list" Remove comma. Add link to mailing list archives. * "regular weekly meetings." -> "regular weekly community meetings, simultaneously held on teleconference and IRC." * "such as announcing Doc Sprints" -> "such as announcing in-person Doc Sprints" * "with subtasks." -> "with subtasks and people assigned to complete them." * "The next Doc Sprint we have coming up is in Berlin, Germany" -> "The next Doc Sprint we have coming up is in Berlin, Germany, this week" Regards- -Doug On 2/7/13 6:47 AM, Chris Mills wrote: > Cheers Peter - these were all great suggestions, and I've included > most of them verbatim. > > The post is now published - see > http://blog.webplatform.org/2013/02/how-were-working-at-webplatform-org/ > > Chris Mills Opera Software, dev.opera.com W3C Fellow, web education > and webplatform.org Author of "Practical CSS3: Develop and Design" > (http://goo.gl/AKf9M) > > On 6 Feb 2013, at 16:27, Peter Lubbers <peterlubbers@google.com> > wrote: > >> Looks good, Chris.
