| 02:07 | <zoey> | Should I just start finding bugs in the HTML script? |
| 02:12 | <annevk> | hey zoey |
| 02:12 | <zoey> | hi |
| 02:13 | <annevk> | zoey: http://krijnhoetmer.nl/irc-logs/whatwg/20151023#l-80 has a conversation with someone else where I tried to explain the basics |
| 02:13 | <annevk> | zoey: the basic goal is fixing issues in whatwg/html's "source" resource |
| 02:13 | <annevk> | zoey: which is a giant HTML file |
| 02:14 | <annevk> | zoey: that happens to be the HTML standard |
| 02:14 | <zoey> | Oh okay |
| 02:15 | <zoey> | thank you |
| 02:16 | <annevk> | zoey: I'll try to get to your email in a bit |
| 02:17 | <zoey> | sure |
| 02:17 | <annevk> | zoey: which file did you find the colspan="2" in? |
| 02:17 | <annevk> | zoey: doesn't seem to be source, at least not on that line |
| 02:17 | <zoey> | the one whose link you sent me |
| 02:17 | <zoey> | let me check |
| 02:20 | <zoey> | https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=28076 |
| 02:20 | <zoey> | line 662 |
| 02:20 | <annevk> | oh, I think you might have misunderstood |
| 02:20 | <annevk> | that is a bug report and describes an issue with whatwg/html's source document |
| 02:21 | <annevk> | Bugzilla might have issues of itself, but they are not important to this project |
| 02:21 | <zoey> | Ohh |
| 02:22 | <zoey> | can you please send me the link again? |
| 02:22 | <annevk> | zoey: you mean https://wiki.mozilla.org/Outreachy/2016/December_to_March#Contribute_to_the_HTML_Standard.21? |
| 02:23 | <zoey> | No, the link you sent for me to find an error, so that I could get started |
| 02:25 | <annevk> | So the link I gave you was https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=28076 which describes a problem you could attempt to fix |
| 02:29 | <annevk> | zoey: you can also find another problem to fix by following the links to issues and bugs given in the "Contribute to the HTML Standard" section I linked to before |
| 02:39 | <zoey> | ok thanks i 'll straight get down to this now |
| 02:42 | <annevk> | zoey: enjoy! |
| 06:51 | <MikeSmith> | big congrats heycam|away https://twitter.com/heycam/status/659243858509697024 |
| 06:51 | <MikeSmith> | you look very distinguished there |
| 06:52 | <MikeSmith> | now take a vacation and come visit me in Tokyo |
| 07:10 | <hober> | MikeSmith: i should have extended this trip so i could visit |
| 07:11 | <MikeSmith> | hober: come in the spring and we can all have hanami party under the cherry trees |
| 07:12 | <hober> | YES |
| 07:13 | <hober> | actually that's what i did when i was last in tokyo |
| 07:13 | <hober> | though sadly not with you. iirc you were out of town |
| 07:13 | <MikeSmith> | ah yeah |
| 07:15 | <MikeSmith> | hober: well you didn't do it in my neighborhood though; where I live now I have two big cherry trees just 20 yards away from my place, just waiting for you |
| 07:15 | <MikeSmith> | btw whoever made http://w3cmemes.tumblr.com/post/132069383207/brad-chooses-his-new-fido-challenge-method I love them |
| 07:17 | <MikeSmith> | it even looks *exactly* like Brad, but with 75 extra pounds, and a tiny bit less hair, and scarier |
| 07:54 | <jgraham> | 53 minutes into meeting on future of HTML; first mention of WHATWG |
| 07:54 | <gsnedders> | Woah. |
| 07:54 | <gsnedders> | so, is XHTML2 the future? |
| 07:57 | <jgraham> | Goodness only knows. I feel like people in this conversation are working from the position that WHATWG doesn't exist. |
| 07:59 | <gsnedders> | But the W3C is a standards org. WHATWG is just a bunch of people conspiring! |
| 08:00 | <jgraham> | Now Charles is advocating delta specifications |
| 08:12 | <zcorpan> | nox: problem in the spec or some impl? (re bufferedAmount) |
| 11:57 | <JeanCarloMachado> | /msg NickServ identify wisdom20 |
| 11:57 | <JeanCarloMachado> | oh crap |
| 13:13 | <smaug____> | SW spec if oddly written. It doesn't first tell what some method does. It just has the algorithm |
| 13:13 | <smaug____> | I have no idea from the name of matchAll what it does |
| 23:29 | <zcorpan> | https://medium.com/@stevefaulkner/thoughts-on-notes-from-the-future-of-html-session-at-tpac-1c2f6f204cea#.19klrh3n7 hmmmm... what if w3c would publish a webdev version of the spec, without the impl requirements? |
