W3C HTML WG Email Lists

Numerous (public-html-) lists are used to conduct W3C HTML Working Group business and deal with proposals and issues.

Public HTML

Purpose: for technical discussions of HTML 5. It is the primary communication channel for the HTML working group.

A11y

Purpose: for the HTML Accessibility Task Force, a joint task force of the HTML WG and the PFWG.

Announce

Purpose: for announcements of surveys, drafts, formal proposals, meeting agendas, minutes, and other important HTML WG business.

Bugzilla

Purpose: to distribute and archive all messages generated for the "HTML WG" product in the public W3C bugzilla. It is used to keep track of proposals and bugs. "Anyone from the wider public can raise issues in the bugzilla -- not just members of the HTML WG nor people who have set up W3C accounts, with the guarantee that both the (co-chair) and the HTML5 editor will see them, and that the editor will add them to his queue of issues to respond to." For more information visit Why public-html-bugzilla@w3.org?.

Bugzilla for HTML WG Process Issues

It was decided at the 2 February 2010 Working Group Teleconference to instate a bugzilla component for process issues. If you go to Bugzilla the drop down component menu contains "working group Decision Policy" (it is the last item).

Other W3C Public mailing lists

www-html, a mailing list created in 1994 to discuss HTML, is still available for discussions related to HTML. But it is not associated with the HTML Working Group, which conducts its business through its own mailing lists, with the primary one being public-html.
