My understanding is that >one should check that directory regularly, You understand correctly, unfortunately. On the other hand, there is a way to be notified by email whenever our TR page changes. See: http://www.netmind.com/#URL-minder We (w3c) should announce tech reports (by sending out the abstracts, etc.). We announce them via the W3C newsletter, but that goes to members only. We sometimes send an announcement to www-talk and to some member-only lists. But we should have a list just for this, ala ietf-announce. > and when a draft appears >there, it's open for general discussion on the approriate foo-wg >email list (for those two, html-wg@w3.org). Not quite. html-wg@w3.org is, ironically, an IETF working group mailing list. The scripting and objects drafts have _not_ been submitted to that working group for review. They're W3C working drafts, not Internet drafts. The drafts are available for public consumption, but we haven't begun the public review phase, i.e. we're not set up to handle comments from the public in an orderly fashion. Of course, the email address of the editor is on the draft... I gather folks are somewhat confused about the process surrounding these drafts. That's understandable. It will take time to establish the W3C process and get folks familiar with it. I wish we had more time for polished process, but we don't. Daniel W.
