Clarify relationship between CR and CG report #437
Conversation
|
Can we get @tmichel07 input on this? What is the usual way this is done in the W3C? |
@dwsinger What aspects of the relationship do readers of the spec need to know about? |

Not sure why the snapshot guidance needs to be removed; I agree with @silviapfeiffer we need W3 guidance on what is "normal" when managing specs in two places at once like this.

I would prefer to give readers something of a hint that the Rec-track document is managed by the WG, but that if they have extensions/improvements/exploratory-ideas, the CG may be a better place to send those. But it's OK, we can easily dispatch bugs on the Rec-track document from the CG to the WG if they end up mis-routed, and hazy ideas for the future from the WG to the CG to be explored.

That's true. Plus I think the best forum for communicating about the spec is via GitHub repo issues, and anyone can do that whether they're in the CG, WG, both or neither.

I propose we change
<a href="https://w3c.github.io/webvtt/">Draft Community Group Report</a>
to
<a href="https://w3c.github.io/webvtt/">Editor's Draft</a>
And then keep this section

There should already be an Editor's Draft link at the top of the document. If the solution is to change the link to the ED then we should just remove the whole paragraph as per the pull request. Folk don't need to be told that the ED might be more up to date, that's obvious.

I think Silvia's change is fine. Let's do it. Getting the CR done is more important than finessing this more. |

OK, let's merge it then. |
Closes #436
