Repo split update

Repos have been split

https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/contribute

lists them

common files in separate repo

not yet automated pushing to repos

don´t edit common files within each repo! do in aria-common repo

aria repo reorganized to reflect just one spec

the repos have Repo Manager and PR-Preview tools installed

https://labs.w3.org/hatchery/repo-manager/

also automated editors´ draft now happens with commits to master

may want to set up protected branches

Branch cleanup, additional branch migration?

in aria repo there are lots of stale branches, should remove

please check your branches if still needed

https://github.com/w3c/aria/branches

If you needed other branches besides master put into the split repos, let MichaelC know

Joanie will do the messy stuff

will be helpful for everyone to look through branches with their name on them and delete if no longer needed, so Joanie doesn´t need to guess

Protected branches

suggest setting up master and gh-pages as protected branches

so only editors can commit

other WG participants could work in other branches and request merge

which editor does when approved

also need to protect stable branch

License change error

documents inadvertently published under software and document license since June 2017

due to Respec unannounced change

now made config change to switch back to proper license

published documents should be edited in place

Dealing with respec problems

increasing frequency of changes to respec that break something about our workflow

we talked about snapshotting respec so we´d know what the features of that snapshot are; do we want to come back to that?

maybe ask respec to switch to a stable / unstable work mode so the stable one has less of the surprises and more vetting of what´s in there

alternatives? mainly Bikeshed https://tabatkins.github.io/bikeshed/

otherwise, custom tool, no tool just manually it all, create a new general-purpose tool

fork or snapshot respec

probably living with it, forking / snapshotting, or switching to bikeshed are the main viable options

submitting pull requests to enhance respec also an option, if we have people with the skillset

AOB

Editing methodology and branches

master is the ¨unstable¨ branch

but content in it is supported by WG consensus

and editors´ draft snapshots come from that

content isn´t stable until there are tests, mappings, etc.

at which point it moves to ¨stable¨ branch

from which WDs published

other branches are working branches, from which content merged into master upon approval

version number branches contain the content that is finalized as Rec for that version number

only set up upon finalization

which we could set up as a ¨release¨ annotation
