====== Specification Issues and Planning ====== | ====== Specification Issues and Planning ====== |
This section documents problems found in the CSS specs and working drafts. Problems documented here will be addressed by the editors, possibly after discussion in a CSS Working Group meeting, and will result in changes, corrections, clarifications, or no change. | |

Looking for a [[https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/describecomponents.cgi?product=CSS|Link to Bugzilla]] or [[http://w3.org/Style/CSS/Tracker/|Tracker]]? | The CSSWG is tasked with maintenance of the CSS specs and working drafts. Problems reported to us will be addressed by the editors, possibly after discussion in a CSS Working Group meeting, and will result in changes, corrections, clarifications, or no change. |
| |
| <note> |
| The group uses GitHub for issue tracking, in [[https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/|csswg-drafts]], [[https://github.com/w3c/fxtf-drafts/|fxtf-drafts]], [[https://github.com/w3c/css-houdini-drafts/|css-houdini-drafts]]. |
| </note> |
| |
| 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. |
