Good to know we're on top of the big issues.

To be fair, I'm sure I'm not alone in having dropped into this repo wanting to read a TAG review and giving up upon seeing the year directories.

It would be great to see them at a glance, even in the README. That could quite easily be included.

I am just trying to channel the collective zeitgeist of the community, @mnot.

The repo is a bit weird, in that 90%+ of the reviews are not done as files there; they're done in the issues. We state that we prefer to give feedback in WGs' own channels, rather than making them come here.

It's more a collection of things that needed more complex writing before we handed them to WGs -- although even then we sometimes don't use the repo.

So we shouldn't imply that the collection here is meaningful or complete; they're just places where we do some work (as all of the TAG github space is).

That's why I suggested using the wiki instead on Twitter.

Yeah, having a list of the reviews done, even if it ends up as pointers to other places, would be really helpful for people trying to distill out of them some guidance …

Alex has agreed to restructure the repo and maintain links using redirects.

@dbaron points out in the call today: we should use spec short names consistently.

and maintain links using redirects.

How?

You're completely spoiling this @domenic. I was so looking forward to see @slightlyoff plow his way through the github documentation before arriving at the same conclusion.

Just use my PR, and stop using the dated space. Done. 💃
