This repository is a [new] alternative to using Discourse for suggesting and discussing any and all proposals for the web platform.
As noted previously on Discourse:
A decade ago, Web standards used to be created behind closed doors. Then they moved into the open, with public mailing list discussions and bug trackers. Then a growing number of specifications started moving to open source repositories (typically GitHub) where they can be tracked, modified, and in some cases even forked.
Yet contributing to standards remains hard. You have to find the specification (and get the right one amongst many different documents), find the group that is in charge of it, look through mailing list archives to see if your feedback has been sent before, post to a mailing list, etc.
[We hope that by providing this repo directly on Github] to make starting and pursuing conversations about Web standards much easier. [You probably already have a Github account], searching [the issue list] for a similar topic should just work, and if nothing is there you can just post [a new issue]. If there is no matching category, just post without and we’ll add it.
Basically, if you have anything to say about Web standards, be it a new feature or feedback on an existing one, just say it!
Let’s Spec The Web Forward!
