Since you are the Chair of the HTML Editing APIs CG [CG], would you please
explain what you see as the relationship between the CG and WebApps
vis-à-vis the Editing spec? In particular, what role(s) do the CG and WG
have?
I notice you asked a more general question here too that I didn't
answer. My take is that the CG will be the group that publishes the
editing spec for the foreseeable future. However, all discussion and
development should occur in preexisting, established fora, preferably
in the W3C. This means using fora that are specific to particular
Working Groups, such as public-webapps, even though those Working
Groups aren't formally involved in developing the editing spec.
So currently, I don't see the WebApps WG as having any official role
in developing the editing spec. I'd only like to be able to use its
discussion list, since a lot of interested parties are already
subscribed.
It seems to me, that by virtue of using public-webapps, it does give
WebApps WG a role e.g. to at least comment on the CG's editing spec.
[Whether such a role is "official" or not is probably just "splitting
hairs".]
And speaking of the spec, would you please clarify which spec is in
scope for the CG:
http://aryeh.name/spec/editing/editing.html
or:
https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/editing/
Eventually, if it turns out to be necessary to move the
spec to the REC track (although I hope it's not),
Would you also please explain what you mean by your hoping it will *not*
be necessary for the editing spec to move to the W3C's Recommendation
track (f.ex. why do you feel this way)?
Is there consensus within the CG to not move the spec to the REC track?
