Wiley have a contract with @sciencedotai, I hope to help fix this sort of thing, but it's not deployed yet.

Replying to @alesarrett and @Protohedgehog

That's why we implemented Word support first, it's 85% of research.

Replying to @alesarrett and @Protohedgehog

That said, frankly, from a document processing perspective, Word is no worse than LaTeX, just differently bad ;-)

Replying to @alesarrett and @Protohedgehog

As would I, but the standard isn't clear enough so you end up handling specific implementation idiosyncrasies...

I wonder what we couldn't devise a security policy to make SVG safe, helping it reach those last places.

Replying to @jaffathecake

CSP has the tech, but I’m thinking more of «use this magic string with all user SVG, and you’ll be safe». @AmeliasBrain

Replying to @jaffathecake

I mean in *outreach*. I'm assuming the reason so many block SVG is because they don't know or think about it. @AmeliasBrain

Has someone written a guide to how to manage issues properly in an open source project? I’d like a pointer for a group but can’t find any.

Replying to @alanstearns

Yes, this is super important — but it looks like the WPWG needs some work on issues before getting to that :)

Replying to @alanstearns

That being said, it was part of the initial plan to make HTML more editable…

Replying to @null and @marcosc

Semver for issues?

Replying to @null and @marcosc

I know the value of semver, we use it a lot internally — but it won’t help here.

Replying to @null and @marcosc

I don’t think that’s the key. Some participants in WPWG are using issues wrong. Crash-course needed.

Replying to @Sniperovitch

Qui?

Replying to @null and @marcosc

No. People are using issues like mailing lists — it’s horrible. Eg. they mix up everything under one place.

Replying to @null and @marcosc

If it weren’t standards there wouldn’t be a problem; people in open source know how to do issue :)

Replying to @YesCT

All of the above :-) But mostly people doing standards and their community.

Replying to @YesCT

Essentially to foster effective collaboration in a group that is a lot like open source, but without the culture.

Replying to @null and @marcosc

As in many other cases I think it comes down to communicating briefly and clearly how you expect others to engage. @getify

Replying to @getifyX and @getify

Some projects I depend upon I don't want to "get involved" with, just provide a small fix I found. We should make that work for all.

Replying to @getifyX and @getify

This is a nice thread, thank you for it. Do you think it might be worth putting it in a document that projects could reference?

Replying to @attiks

indeed, thanks :-)

Replying to @xjmdrupal

However, in this case I’m looking for much simpler. Eg to avoid github.com/w3c/html/issue… which is chaos 1/n @attiks @YesCT

Replying to @xjmdrupal

Basically something like «clear, focused issues» that seems obvious to OSS people isn’t obvious to all. 2/n @attiks @YesCT

Replying to @xjmdrupal

I get a sense it didn’t get written up because it’s obvious to the people who could write it up :) @attiks @YesCT

Ha! Sweet and simple. Thanks @mwop!

Replying to @null and @marcosc

I was wondering if you'd want to replace your built in processor with a js one loaded on the fly?

Replying to @null and @marcosc

ISTR someone saying they couldn't drop it but would like it in js so the browser would load it on demand, less memory. I forget who

Replying to @ShaneHudson

It comes in pretty handy when you get XML. And in some domains, that's often. But otherwise, no, not much. @marcosc

Replying to @AlainCouthures

I'm pretty sure anything else would be too heavy. I don't think a build step is a huge limitation.

Replying to @AlainCouthures

I know, but I need new XSLT sheets rarely enough that I don't mind.

Replying to @AlainCouthures

I know, but last time I had to port some XSLT to JS it took a couple of days. It's well worth it.

Replying to @yoavweiss

Yes! The reason was there was no good option. Maybe @michaelhkay could help now. @marcosc
