Proposal: moving tests to GitHub

2013-01-22 Thread Odin Hørthe Omdal
Hi! We just had a small discussion on webapps-testsuite [1] about the possibility of moving the webapps tests. I was wrongly under the impression that we had discussed this before (hey, confusion is not a crime ;) ). Now that HTML has done the move, I think it is time for us to look

I think it's a good idea. The WebGL specification/tests moved to github which made contributing patches (as pull requests) a lot easier. On Tue, Jan 22, 2013 at 11:53 AM, Odin Hørthe Omdal odi...@opera.comwrote: Hi! We just had a small discussion on webapps-testsuite [1] about the

Hi Cyril, 1) I'm wondering why in progressive mode, does the spec say: partial Blob data is an ArrayBuffer [ TypedArrays ] object consisting of the bytes loaded so far . Why isn't it the bytes loaded since the previous progress event? AR: It is always a new ArrayBuffer. The phraseology so

I love the idea of moving to github. The one-repo idea, while much simpler from a maintenance point of view, could easily be a burden on users that subscribe to it. Even more so for people who can merge PRs (and thus will receive an email for a PR initiatedfor any spec). Not saying it is
