One thing I don't quite understand, despite having read this group for some time is how exactly editors are assigned to specs? Is there a formal process whereby say Tab applies to take over ownership of a module? What if that module already has an editor, but they're inactive? Is this decided informally between members? Does it have to wait 'til a F2F? How is ownership transferred, is it just a case of Fantasai or someone giving the appropriate CVS access? Also, I'd point out that any claim editor resource surpasses implementation resource seems a little dubious in light of what I posted about the other day [1], where Apple/Webkit are implementing an unfinished and unmaintained spec. Although it seems people aren't too concerned about it? Despite it being exactly the kind of thing that leads to situations where standardisation of features like transitions and animations lags years behind implementations, authors rely on Webkit's implementation, and other vendors consider reverse-engineering and implementing -webkit properties. Things that everyone is always eager to point are very bad and shouldn't keep happening. Jon [1] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2012Jan/0693.html
