Process

Protocol for Collecting Events & Process

Feline started collecting events and going through all the spec sheet by hand(by search engine) and reading through the mailings to see what is the earliest mentions of the properties she came across. This revealed a great email by Håkon W Lie: here marking the start of Cascading Style Sheets. She handled a lot of important events of W3C, and position stuff.

Sevgi started looking into the mailings, protocols and was interested in the protocols of 'being a W3C contributing member'. She handled display and color properties. Also some documentation and note taking.

Kim started working on the timeline from the timeline pad, with YAML
