You're encouraged to check the tests into the W3C mercurial repo: hg clone https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/webapps There is a "tests" subdir there, and I just set up a "submissions" subdir under that. http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/webapps/file/tip/tests/submission/ http://test.w3.org/webapps/tests/submission/ The convention we've been following for test submissions for the HTML WG is to have subdirs under that whose names are, e.g., DrewWilson So you are welcome to create such a subdir there in that repo, and free to manage files and subdirectories under that however you wish. The long-term plan is of course to take tests in those submission subdirs and, as they get reviewed and approved, migrate them into becoming part of a central, approved testsuite maintained in that same repo. --Mike If you want to do this and you have any trouble with the getting the new directory and its contents pushed to that repo, please contact me directly and let me know. You can reach me on #whatwg on irc.freenode.net pretty much any time I'm actually awake, or also feel free to e-mail me directly. -- Michael[tm] Smith http://people.w3.org/mike
