 +Previously, issues were reported to the [[http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/|www-style mailing list]], which was periodically scoured for issues. You can view old discussions there, including open issues in some of the less well-maintained specs. Also, some issues tracked in [[https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/describecomponents.cgi?product=CSS|Bugzilla]] or [[http://w3.org/Style/CSS/Tracker/|Tracker]] have yet to be migrated to GH.

 +The [[planning/status|Status page]] tracks outstanding resolutions. Editors, please clear them out when you're done dealing with the resolution.
