Guide

From W3C Wiki
      • Active maintenance of this project has been discontinued ***

This is (will be) a public resource for participants in W3C groups to help them get work done. Much of the advice will apply to all types of groups and participants; some will be specific to certain types of groups/participants. Questions? public-modernguide@w3.org.

About this resource

There are three primary sorts of resources integrated into the Guide:

    1. Good practice. This information is editable (in a wiki) by anyone with a W3C account.
    2. Operations. These are operational descriptions edited by the W3C staff.
    3. Process. These are references to process or policy requirements.

Some ideas to make this easy to use

    • Signposts for differences (e.g., "For CGs").
    • Search or index (don't want to manually manage multiple overlays)
    • Stack-overflow type FAQ tool
    • Connect to Member site admin tools (e.g., list audit)
    • Make sure people are aware of this resource (e.g., new chair email pointing to this; new participant email points to page on using tools, etc.)
    • Training built on top of this resource
    • Include or link to examples of good practice
