[MPEG-OTSPEC] [EXTERNAL] Re: Request for OFF Github Repo

[Levantovsky, Vladimir]

Having ideas for actions filed as issues on Github would definitely make it easier to track and discuss, but it doesn’t preclude a full round trip back to email list for submitting and discussing proposed text changes. Bug fixes, clarifications, and minor amendments (where few sentences or a paragraph of text is subject to change) can be part of the issue raised, but when the time comes for much more substantial changes (looking back at and remembering 100+ pages of contributions for variable fonts in OFF 4th edition), we may still use email list for more substantive discussions.

Thank you,
Vlad

Mmm, so, what kinds of thread would you consider to be “chat”?

Personally I hope and expect this list to still be used for "chat", and for the GitHub Issue Tracker to be used for all technical/practical discussions.

So should we start using this repo instead of mail lists? GitHub's user experience is much better than mailing lists.

Subject: Request for OFF Github Repo





Hi Vlad



I'd like to request the creation of an OFF Github repo for the purpose of using the issue tracker to supplement this mailing list - to make discussions more clear in terms of clearly closing an issue when a decision is made, while keeping it open to further comment, tagging issues, grouping them into dated milestones, and so on.



The precedent for this is https://github.com/MPEGGroup/FileFormat<https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/0d8JCjRkM0unLZj1hjTRvD>



I propose https://github.com/MPEGGroup/OpenFontFormat<https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/-bQECkRlKruOVon3INn2D2>



To confirm, this is completely separate from the interest in having an editor's draft for the spec text available as markdown on Github for more efficient drafting of proposals.



Cheers

Dave
