When Process 2018 came into effect, one of the major changes was the ability for W3C produce an Amended Recommendation to update a Recommendation [1], without adding new features, parallel to the way a Working Group produces an Edited Recommendation. This was an important update since it gave us a path to update a Recommendation if no Working Group was chartered to maintain a Recommendation. The transition requirement document was updated accordingly [2]. The next step was to streamline the management of errata. W3C published a lot of Recommendations over the years and lots of them remain relevant to today's Web. To facilitate the editing and handling of errata, we're proposing a workflow based on GitHub issues (kuddos to Ivan Herman for initiating it): https://github.com/w3c/display_errata The intent is to spread this workflow to existing W3C Recommendations (we've been requiring all W3C Recommendations to have a GH repository for comments since last year). Comments here or on GH are welcome. Philippe [1] https://www.w3.org/2018/Process-20180201/#revised-rec [2] https://www.w3.org/Guide/transitions?profile=CR&cr=rec-amended
