RE: ES5 errata submission

Actually, es5-disc...@mozilla is the preferred place to post such issues.  They 
have more chance of being lost if you post them here.

Oddly, the spec itself doesn't tell me, nor does ECMA's web page for the
spec, nor its web page for TC39. The only place where I found a
solicitation for feedback is http://www.ecmascript.org/community.php .
It points to the Harmony wiki, but that appears to be readonly for
outsiders. Ditto the Trac db, although there's a button to register; but
it seems kind of inactive (only 7 events in the last year).

So I'm asking here: what's the best means (and form) for giving feedback
on the ES5 spec to TC39?

This lack of explanation is a serious problem. Thanks for bringing it to our 
attention.

The best place to post is to 
es5-disc...@mozilla.orgmailto:es5-disc...@mozilla.org so suggested errata can 
easily be found.
Often such messages are addressed to es-discuss as well, especially if the 
issue is likely to be of general interest.

Thanks, I'll post there.


I've added a link at the obvious place on the EcmaScript wiki to the
es5-discuss list.


Thanks again. It might be a good idea to add it to
http://www.ecmascript.org/community.php
as well (and say that it's the best avenue).

Post 'em here, that's what everyone else has done.
