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.<br>

<p>Hi Vlad<u></u><u></u></p>
<div>
<p><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p>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.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p>The precedent for this is <a href="https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/0d8JCjRkM0unLZj1hjTRvD" rel="noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">
https://github.com/MPEGGroup/FileFormat</a> <u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p>I propose <a href="https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/-bQECkRlKruOVon3INn2D2" rel="noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/MPEGGroup/OpenFontFormat</a> <u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p>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.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p><u></u> <u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p>Cheers<u></u><u></u></p>
