Content: some clean-ups, some small things, some big things.
Clean-up
- Migrated the document from plain HTML to the bikeshed preprocessor
- Autogenerated (correct) table of content
- Autogenerated index of all terms defined in the document
- Cross linking terms with their definitions
- Prettier stylesheet
Small Things
(Details, but details may matter )
- Terminology clarifications & disambiguations
(“minor changes”,
“dissent”,
“publish”,
“resign”,
“Group Decision”…)
- Clean up contradictory statements & references to text that doesn't exist
Not-So-Small Things
- Defined how to revise Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct, and the Patent Policy:
- Same as the Process: AB prepares (may delegate), everybody gives feedback, AC reviews
- Retired Team Submissions (not Member Submissions)
- Not used, Team has other means of putting content on www.w3.org
