Hello Too often, we upload to w3.org new copies of JS resources that are publicly available on the site already. Examples of those JS libraries or files are: jQuery, Slidy, swfobject.js, MathJax, impress.js, Prism... We commit those files, often in the exact same versions, when we create specs, pages about events, group pages, staff-only pages, personal pages, etc. There are good reasons to try to avoid this redundancy ¹. From now on, please check if the JS module you need is here, before uploading a new copy: https://www.w3.org/scripts/ If it is not, but still it is a fairly popular module that others might need too, please write sysreq@w3.org or w3t-sys@w3.org to get it added to the repository. We realise the current list is limited -- we included a few of the most common libraries, but will add more in the future. You are encouraged to link to any JS files there from any page *within W3C space*. The JS files themselves are world-readable, so any visitor of your pages will be able to retrieve them. This index page, on the other hand, we decided to keep staff-only for now: there is some concern that if it were public, this repo would be (mis)treated by some from non-W3C sites as a free CDN (which it is not). For more information, questions or suggestions, please read/contribute on the wiki: https://www.w3.org/Team/wiki/JS , or drop us a line! ···· ¹ https://www.w3.org/Team/wiki/JS#Purpose -- Antonio Olmo Titos web developer, W3C antonio@w3.org http://w3.org/People/Antonio +81 335162504
