This Guidebook is the collected wisdom of the W3C Group Chairs, team contacts and other contributors.
Tools in this section and the previous are in wide use and are supported by the systems team (ask for help on sysreq@w3.org) and comm team. For service enhancements or new systems projects, please contact w3t-sys@w3.org with a detailed description of your needs. Outages and scheduled operations appear on the W3C System Status page. See collected wisdom below for less mature tools.
Note on Member Submissions: Per section "Scope of Member Submissions" of the Process Document, "when a technology overlaps in scope with the work of a chartered Working Group, Members SHOULD participate in the Working Group and contribute the technology to the group's process rather than seek publication through the Member Submission process." Read more about how to send a Member Submission request.
Many of these resources were contributed by your colleagues; we invite you to write down and share your experiences as well. Discussion of issues that groups face take place on the chairs mailing list (Member-only archive). You may also find chairs meetings back to 1997 an interesting source of wisdom.
This Guidebook is intended to complement the W3C Membership Agreement and the W3C Process. This index page is Public, although a small number of resources linked from this page may be visible only to the W3C Membership or Team.
You are expected to be familiar with the parts of this Guidebook that affect your work. Working Group chairs should get a "tour" from their team contact. Then take a look again, for example, if you're going to hold a face-to-face meeting; read the section on meetings to be sure you understand what's written there, and to record any valuable knowledge you pick up along the way.
As editor of the guidebook, @w3c/guidebook will do its best to see that it gets better over time. This does not mean that we do all the editing ourselves!
Note: Not all pages are maintained with the same frequency. Some may be quite outdated. Please add your issues to the GitHub repository of this Guidebook if you have any specific comments and/or proposals to improve this Guidebook.
