HTML Working Group,
Steve Faulkner,
Thank you for your opinion as well. The W3C has no other forum for
forum-related discussions
As co-chair of the W3C HTML WG I will confirm that the fact that you can
not find an appropriate forum for what appears to be a worthwhile
discussion is not an adequate justification for posting off-topic
messages to the public-html mailing list.
Repeats of this behavior will lead to getting you banned from the list:
http://www.w3.org/html/wg/wiki/ListGuidelines
, and it appears that you and Mike Taylor agree
with one another and that you and I also disagree. I think that
participants who do not want to discuss the topic here can see the
appropriately titled subject of the forum thread and that those who do
should have the opportunity to.
I also think that the charter should convenience the group and group
productivity, describing tasks, deliverables, and milestones, and that
forums-related discussions can pertain directly to enhancing group
productivity to accomplish chartered tasks. Your position that
scientists' and technologists' discussion of their forums, in their
forums, is somehow contrary to their forum charters is problematic.
Additionally, the charter could become a group discussion topic with the
HTML 5.1 versioning, digital publishing, digital books, digital
textbooks, scholarly and scientific communication topics upcoming.
I do not agree that the group desires an interpretation of their charter
which precludes the group's capability to discuss their forum.
Kind regards,
Adam Sobieski
