In general, yes. In this specific case, not yet. The expected date of deployment on Validator.nu is November 5th. (I don’t have sufficient opportunity to respond to problems if problems were to arise as a result of redeployment before then.) > Are both services > derived from the same codebase, such that changes are made to a single > codebase and then deployed to both http://validator.w3.org/nu and > http://html5.validator.nu/?

Typically, yes. If you redeploy your copy of the Validator.nu software, you get what’s in the source repository even if the instance at http://html5.validator.nu/ has not been redeployed yet. However, occasionally, http://validator.w3.org/nu has run experimental code for a brief period of time (less than a week, IIRC) before the code landing in the repository. (It has happened that http://html5.validator.nu/ has been ahead of the repository but only for a few minutes.) In general, if I develop a new feature or a fix, you’ll see it on http://html5.validator.nu/ first and http://validator.w3.org/nu later when Mike redeploys. If Mike develops a fix or a feature, you’ll see it first on http://validator.w3.org/nu and on http://html5.validator.nu/ later when I redeploy. -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
