Philippe, Done for TTWG. By the way, did you consider that the timeline for proposing final designs will often fall just before TPAC? You could deal with this in either direction: 1) make the deadline earlier so that whatever group approves the new style before the Director can resolve to accept a proposal to adopt it, during their TPAC meeting; 2) make the deadline later so that last-minute tweaks can be made by interested folk in the early hours during TPAC, for submission by the end of the week after TPAC. hope all is well with you, Nigel -- Nigel Megitt Lead Technologist, BBC Engineering Telephone: +44 (0)208 0082360 Telephone (Lync): +44 (0)3030807996 BC4 A3 Broadcast Centre, Media Village, 201 Wood Lane, London W12 7TP ________________________________________ From: Philippe Le Hegaret [plh@w3.org] Sent: 17 April 2015 14:16 To: Chairs Subject: Fwd: Updating our /TR stylesheets Dear Chairs, Please, circulate this proposal around your Groups and, especially, your editors. I'd appreciate feedback on the proposal by the AC meeting. Philippe -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Updating our /TR stylesheets Date: Thu, 16 Apr 2015 08:53:21 -0400 From: Philippe Le Hegaret <plh@w3.org> To: spec-prod <spec-prod@w3.org> I'd like to find a path for W3C to update our /TR style sheets and since we weren't able to do it so far, here is a radical change on how to do so. First, since it's too complex to change documents that have been published in the past, we must not try to do it. It has the simplification that we're breaking the consistency of style between all W3C documents but it allows us more forward. Second, we shouldn't assume we need one new style and be done. Instead, I'd like to enable ourselves to have progressive enhancements over the years. It will also avoid having everyone trying to squeeze their own ideas between of a once-in-a-lifetime chance to change the styles. To make it easier on the tooling, we also need something predictable. So, I'd like to propose that we allow ourselves to update the /TR style sheets once per year, on January 1. All documents published in that year would have to use the style, ensuring some consistency. Note that it doesn't imply we have to change the style every year, but it gives us an opportunity if we want to. I added a set of guidelines and an hopefully simple process to do it: https://github.com/w3c/tr-design/blob/gh-pages/README.md Feedback is welcome. Philippe
