Hi all, Generally speaking, the WSG list has a great vibe - with members helping each other and offering advice. However, I have been concerned with a recent trend on list. There seems to be an element of lecturing, chest beating and heavy-handed criticism.
Can I ask all members to think of a few things before posting. We should all avoid: - Posts that criticise other people or their opinion. - Posting to show other people how clever we are. - Continuing threads that have obviously moved away from open discussion into dogmatic stances and set opinions. The aim of this list is not to scare people off, to put people down or to hammer people with your opinion. The aim of posting is to help others and to stimulate discussion around the topic of web standards. For new members, a few simple guides that may help you as well as helping those that want to help you (and possibly even help those who want to help those who want to help you - but I should stop before I get dizzy). 1. Set up a sample page that shows just the problem in action. 2. Validate your HTML code 3. Validate your CSS code 4. Test the page on a range of browsers - as many as you can get access to. 5. Post your problem to the list with the following info: - a link to the sample url - a link to the css file if it is separate - a short, clear explanation of the problem - a list of browsers and how they render the problem Mmmmm.... Sound familiar? http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm A final request... Please don't respond to this on-list - feel free to abuse me OFFLIST! :) Peace!
