It is a well-known fact that absent the open Internet there are no arguments left to be had. #circular
I will be somewhat disappointed if it isn't the same principle originating order in all three. It's the same problem.
Yeah. People should meet their heroes. Just don't pick jerks for the job in the first place.

Digging deeper, I found a note in dev.w3.org/csswg/css-pseu… saying it might happen in future. @sgalineau @davidbaron @bz_moz
I know that, and it makes some sense for first-line — but not so much for first-letter.

That’s unfair, G+ has the best privacy! You can post anything there and be absolutely certain that no one will ever read it.
That’s just because you’ve been through too much of this :) Apart from a few low-hanging fruits, this is pretty much unusable.
Does it detect that the control does something useful instead of just supporting the type?
Yeah, it’s a complete fuck-up at this point. I wonder if we shouldn’t just scrap them and go from scratch.

Is there a good JS library to manage a configurable dashboard of widgets, à la Netvibes?

Wow, that’s sexy! I’ve been wondering if RDF might be used in network sciences or not.

Hmmm, I hadn’t thought about RDF graphs being so often bipartite, that’s quite different from the Web graph.
Is that something you’re seeing from the crawl? I wonder if it has some specific impact.
Isn’t that a general property of bipartite graphs though?
@karlpro Do you know if the sources for w3.org/2002/01/spellc… are available? @mikewest is interested.

Oh, you’re trying to reach me on my *phone*? I’m sitting in front of my computer waiting for you to show up :)

Also, while it’s Christmas, it’d be cool if it could wrap the first letter in a span for you, too :)

Hmmm. I guess one could traverse to the first non-null and displayed text node?
Yeah, that was the first thing I tried; then I saw what I was doing and slammed my head in.

Well played! C'est juste dommage que ce soit une image; niveau accessibilité c'est illisible quelle que soit la langue.
1) on dit *une* espace, et 2) ça reste une erreur typographique.
@tabatkins Is there a way to override the metadata in a Bikeshed document from the outside? E.g. say you want WD instead of ED on the CLI.
Ah, cool, thanks! I couldn’t find that in the docs. @tabatkins
My question then becomes: can we have that from api.csswg.org/bikeshed/ :)
Sweeeeet, thanks :)
This should allow us to make Bikeshed source work directly with W3C automated publishing, no pre-conversion :)
Couldn’t find it initially, but thankfully the Twitters were full of help.
Non, c'est une erreur de typographie que d'inclure une espace pleine devant une ponctuation.
Tu es croquignolet à vouloir donner des leçons de typographie sans connaître le genre de l'espace typographique. Bisous.
Tu peux mettre un quart de quadratin avant une ponctuation haute, pas une espace pleine. Mais reste ignorant, c'est pas grave.

It’s still alpha, but the goal is to get ALL specs to use that. Once set up, it’s pretty straightforward. @marcosc

How about asking tokens for all WebApps specs? Add a .travis.yml to autopush on commit and \o/ @yoavweiss
Oh, right, crap. That said: what’s the risk? The token is bound to a URL that can’t change. @yoavweiss
So by stealing the token, all you can do is re-publish a document already on autopublish… @yoavweiss
Actually you couldn’t, the token matches a URL prefix: you could only publish from the same source. @yoavweiss
You could publish the index.html without the other files by pointing to that instead of the manifest, I guess. @yoavweiss
Oooh, nice! Thanks :) @marcosc @yoavweiss
Yeah, you need to DM it to me :) @rdeltour @yoavweiss
I can’t seem to get Travis to work with github.com/w3c/manifest. It’s seeing the requests, the hook works, just no build. Ideas?

Are there universities out there with good courses in Web {Science, Hacking, Whatever}? Or not so good ones that at least exist?

Thanks! Mostly I was curious about the faculty's qualifications given that it's interdisciplinary and still relatively early days.
Yes, thanks for the details. I'm curious about what kind of people teach such classes notably.
Yeah, I'm not seeing that much beyond Java courses poorly recast as Web development. Indeed I never meet academics!
