Re: Web Platform Wednesdays

This is so cool! Thanks much, Doug! A couple of questions. Just to
confirm: the coordinators are supposed to edit three tables on the three
pages each time a task is finished?

Thanks.

>* Simplified the CSS properties spreadsheet and made it into a sortable

>hey, I can write an example for outline properties!")
>
>* Created a task outline page [3] for keeping track of contributors and
>tasks on a weekly basis; the plan is to have one such page for each week
>
>* Updated the Site Notice to call for CSS contributors to our new Web
>Platform Wednesdays page

>
>What we need:
>* Badge for "CSS Beta Hero" and "Beta Coordinator"
>
>* Finalize this week's target articles
>
>* Finish (and confirm) topic clusters
>
>* Add URLs to each property article (some missing, most don't link
>directly to ID for property section)
>
>* Write blog article (started)
>
>* Figure out how we're going to represent this in the project
>management/issue tracker system (if at all)
>
>* Integrate this into our existing "getting started/editor's guide"
>workflow documentation
>
>* Create stubs for each article for this week (or better yet, make a
>script to do that for all articles)
>

>I think we should aim for 20 articles per week. That may seem ambitious,

>(depending on how many coordinators we have each week).
