| 04:37 | <MikeSmith> | GPHemsley: about the wiki is there any way you can check and confirm that it is actually sending out out mail correctly when we create new account? |
| 04:38 | <MikeSmith> | GPHemsley: because see https://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/Special:Log/newusers I created the TylerDH account on Dec 8 but that user never logged in. Instead they wrote to be directly to say that they never received any login message from the system after the account was created |
| 04:39 | <MikeSmith> | GPHemsley: and I just now created the OhReally account, so if that user also never receives a login message then I think there must be some problem we need to fix |
| 04:41 | <MikeSmith> | all that said, these days pretty much all new account requests are from people who want to add new meta[name] values to the https://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/MetaExtensions page |
| 04:42 | <MikeSmith> | and I think it is time we quit encouraging people to do that, because for one thing the HTML checker no longer emits errors for unregistered meta[name] values |
| 04:44 | <MikeSmith> | because that https://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/MetaExtensions page just ended up evolving in a massive dumping ground: just overwhelmed with junk/noise of name values that are almost all for private purposes with no general utility to anybody except the people who minted them |
| 06:17 | <MikeSmith> | time to drop the meta-name registration requirement from the spec https://github.com/whatwg/html/pull/2229 |
| 07:29 | <MikeSmith> | 2017 and caniuse.com is still insecure http-only 😞 |

| 14:03 | <zcorpan> | Ms2ger`: do you know if there's a gecko bug for removing XMLDocument's async? |
| 14:04 | <Ms2ger`> | zcorpan, I don't think so |
| 14:11 | <zcorpan> | Ms2ger`: ok, filed https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1328138 |
| 14:12 | <Ms2ger`> | Thanks |
