Thanks, I think you did a great job capturing the open issues.

Sounds good considering:

* all the group participants are subscribed to this mailing list, but not all may be watching the repo (or have a GH account)
* the discussion that forks to different places can be hard to follow

I know some people would prefer GH-only workflow (there are pros: tight integration, drive-by comments in GH issues from people not subscribed to the W3C lists etc.), but I suggest we try the model proposed by MarkFo and see how it goes. We can readjust as needed.

I’d like to see also the WG use the tools that make it the most productive. The W3C Process is fairly flexible in terms of tooling and workflow the WGs may use. I see no reasons why we couldn't continue to use the same tools and the workflow (Francois, please correct me if you identify issues).

[On a related note, there’s also the W3C Tracker <http://www.w3.org/2005/06/tracker/> which has some pretty nifty features such as IRC and email interfaces, but sadly no GH integration. It may be useful for tracking actions assigned to people though, but we can cross that bridge when we get there.]

Thanks,
