It has, indeed, been useful for people to enter comments in-line, and we use the GitHub issue tracker instead of the W3C tracker. What this misses is automatically updating issues based on email threads referencing the issues; but this could probably to added with a fairly simple robot. > > Changes are automatically checked out to http://json-ld.org, and commits are broadcast on IRC (#json-ld on irc.freenode.net). Sexy! So it seems there's precedent — clearly I should've moved first and asked later ;-) How do you handle contributions? I know you're a CG but it still matters. If I, who isn't on the CG, make a pull request including a substantive change, what happens? Do you ask me to join? Or to sign an RF commitment? Has it simply not happened? Concerning the issue tracker, I think that syncing to W3C (or using only W3C) is a hard requirement. GitHub could be taken over by $evil, or could simply go belly up overnight, and we really shouldn't lose WG work over that. That said, they have an API for almost everything, including issues, so it should be very much doable to sync. What do you use for your bot notifications, hooks? -- Robin Berjon - http://berjon.com/ - @robinberjon
