CSSWG Tools

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

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.
• Zakim is a conference bridge with an IRC bot that helps us manage our telecons.
• 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
• WordPress login for our official blog
• Shepherd is used to track test suite bugs.
• Test Harness is used for running test suites and generating implementation reports.
• Disposition of Comments tool Provides a GUI for easy editing and exploring DoCs.

Tools setup for trying out, or otherwise playing with. Could change / break at any time.
