What’s the WICG process? How do proposals get advanced?

There isn’t an immediately obvious page that details how the proposal process works. It would be great to have this in a clearly visible place; f.e. as a pinned topic here in the forums.

Wdyt?

I see there are some text regarding advancing proposals at https://github.com/WICG/admin and https://wicg.github.io/admin/charter.html . perhaps they can be reused.

agreed!

I agree as well. Right now it is very unclear how the process works.

Apologies for the delayed response… Would a link to https://github.com/WICG/admin#contributing-new-proposals be helpful as a pinned topic?

What was unclear to me until speaking to someone about it is that to get a repo created there needs to be a vendor championing the idea.

That is not true. You need multiple industry folks behind a proposal for it to get a repo, but having a browser vendor amongst them is definitely not a requirement for that.

@yoavweiss Thanks. Could you clarify that a little more? What is an industry folk for example?

I’m also curious to know what are the requirements for “industry folk”.

There’s no formal definition I’m aware of, but it’s generally folks who work in the industry (so, web developers) and are likely to use the proposed feature in their day to day job.
