Karl, maybe I just can't read what you write very well. Sorry about
that. I'll try harder. I don't know what you mean by:
ok sorry about that.
"""Ahaha. One of the most misunderstood message. One of this crisis
where everyone rallied behind a few words for burning witches. Björn
had valid critics which led him to stop participating to the *open
source project of validators*. Björn is still actively participating
to the CSS WG.
At the time, a burst of blog posts arise with "W3C sucks so bad that
Björn is leaving W3C."
Context: http://www.w3.org/QA/2006/07/a_peaceful_ear
...
Björn is complaining in this message that it is difficult to develop
the validator because there is not much support from the WG. There
was this idea floating at a point that validators should be taken
care by WGs. It never happened. Resources.
"""
The first lie suggested to me that *I* had misunderstood the message
and that you were offering a correction.
Sorry again I was illustrating of one of the issues.
Björn's message, and not only björn's, are part of a discussion on a
long time which led at a point to this message
Reinventing HTML.
http://dig.csail.mit.edu/breadcrumbs/node/166
http://www.w3.org/QA/2006/10/reinventing_html_discuss
http://www.w3.org/QA/2006/12/reinventing_html_update
And finally,
W3C Launches New HTML Working Group
http://www.w3.org/QA/2007/03/new-html-working-wg.html
Neither sentence touched on the point of procedural problems with WGs.
I do not have a binary answer (unfortunately for me). When I was a
Team member, there are days I wished everything was on public record,
because of double talk of some people. Sometimes, the opposite,
because of people jumping to conclusions and giving into conspiracy
theory. This one is strange to me. When you say everything you know
honestly in public, people still go on saying that you are hiding
things. Depending on which mood you are waking up with, it can be
difficult to handle ;)
Honestly speaking, W3C is really a wonderful organization with a lot
of dedicated people (with not too much resources in their hands time
and money). It can certainly be improved… but like everything else. :)
