CSSWG Tools

The CSSWG uses some tools to make our jobs easier. Here they are!

Meeting Tools

Tools particularly useful during (f2f or telcon) meetings:

This DokuWiki (obviously)
IRC is the real-time chat system we use for backchannel communication during meetings.
Excalidraw and W3C Etherpad in case you need a virtual whiteboard during a meeting.
Zakim is ~~a conference bridge with~~ an IRC bot that helps us manage our telecons.
A blog post on some of the conventions we use on IRC, with a scribing focus
IRC Logs are available for our IRC channels
iCal Feed contains our meeting times.
Interop Browser Data Provides crawler data from Chrome/Microsoft Edge about CSS properties, values and top sites utilized

Editor's Drafts are automatically generated and available with publishing history.
GitHub issues are used to track spec issues. (Older spec issues are found in the mail archives, and might be additionally tracked in
- CSS Tracker,
- FXTF Tracker,
- Bugzilla, and
- this wiki.)
Git/GitHub or Mercurial can be used to access the version control system for our specs and our tests.
W3C Mailing Lists: specifically
- www-style for our specs,
- public-css-testsuite for testing, and
- public-fx for specs we co-edit with the SVGWG.
- We also have an internal list for administrivia.

The CSS module template, the Bikeshed spec preprocessor, and the bibliographic data file are used to generate our specs. A more comprehensive set of bibliographic data can be found at SpecRef, which is automatically loaded into Bikeshed. See CSSWG and other post processing for tips.
Note: Some specs still use
- Bert's post-processor
- the older module template
