Description Julian Reschke 2010-11-09 11:15:47 UTC 
...currently says:

"CVSWeb interface with side-by-side diffs: http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/html5/"

This appears to refer to

  http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/html5/core/

but that hasn't changed for 10 months.
Comment 1 Michael[tm] Smith 2010-11-09 12:07:21 UTC 
It should point to http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/html5/spec/Overview.html or http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/html5/spec/

(I think html5/core is just some cruft left over from a previous attempt at demonstrating how the spec might be modularized. It should probably just be deleted at this point.)
Comment 2 Julian Reschke 2011-01-16 15:43:27 UTC 
This is still broken in the WD published last week. Please fix.
Comment 3 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2011-02-15 00:44:09 UTC 
Reassigning to Mike since he has access to the boilerplate files now. Mike, please feel free to ping me on IRC if you need help with this.

It doesn't "refer to" http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/html5/core/ -- to be clear, the contents of http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/html5/ are essentially an auto-generated directory listing. So, I'm assuming your request is that the "core" subdirectory should not show up in that auto-generated listing, and I have   done a "cvs remove" on that directory. The directory itself still shows in the auto-generated listing (I think due to the fact that you can't actually delete a directory from a CVS repo except on the server side), but the contents of it are not empty; see:

  http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/html5/core/
Comment 5 Julian Reschke 2011-04-05 08:37:37 UTC 
It should point to a relevant page.

I believe that http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/html5/spec/ is what it actually shoint point to.
Comment 6 Michael[tm] Smith 2011-08-04 05:17:14 UTC 
mass-move component to LC1
