This was discussed briefly at the previous meeting, perhaps un-minuted.

The basic plan is to develop the spec on GitHub, using [Ecmarkup][] and 
[Ecmarkdown][]. It will take pull requests, have a master branch that you can 
view (and implementers should view, to see any bug fixes made since the Ecma 
version), etc.

Brian did a prototype conversion a while back, based on an older draft and an 
older dialect of Ecmarkup (no Ecmarkdown); you can find that at 
https://github.com/bterlson/ecmascript. I believe the current status it that 
we're waiting for the "final" GA-submitted version before doing the real 
conversion, since Allen is making editorial tweaks and bug-fixes up until the 
deadine. Once that's done we'll use some mutated version of Jason's 
[converter][] and start iterating and tweaking from there.

Unlike the current process, the post-ES2015 spec process requires two shipping 
implementations before a feature is integrated into the spec. While we're 
waiting for that, we anticipate proposal documents to prepare for integration 
by being written as Ecmarkup/Ecmarkdown spec deltas, with their own issue 
trackers. For an example of this, see [Object.observe][].

There's been less discussion about what to do with the issues list: GitHub 
issues vs. bugs.ecmascript.org. At the very least I would hope that we welcome 
community issues on GitHub, even if bugs.ecmascript.org stays active.
