WebAssembly
Proposed charter for debugging subgroup
This is a draft for the charter of the proposed CG subgroup on debugging (discussed in https://github.com/WebAssembly/meetings/blob/master/2018/CG-05-15.md). I intend to discuss it in the next CG meeting (and hopefully poll to create the subgroup) but I put this in the format of a PR to allow easy comments on the content of the charter, so we can discuss it prior to the live meeting. I tried to keep it as general as possible (so we can discuss any relevant debugging-related topic without worrying too much about the process or the charter) while still keeping it subordinate to the CG charter. One tricky piece about that is that there may end up being some debugging-related standard scoped to the web more broadly outside of just wasm, so the wasm subgroup may end up sending recommendations to that rather than the wasm WG if applicable. But in any case, as far as anyone I talked to knows, subgroups like this are basically unprecedented in the context of W3C groups; so even though everyone is happy with the general idea, there might be feedback on the specifics. So I wanted to get this out for opinions before the meeting.
@jfbastien or @binji any thoughts or ideas you might want to address before tomorrow?
Is it ok if we discuss it early in the meeting? i have a conflict today unfortunately..
Thanks everyone for your feedback. Since the last comments here, we've officially created the debugging subgroup, and it has git repo for artifacts such as meeting notes and documents (https://github.com/WebAssembly/debugging). I've gone ahead and added the charter in its current form to the repo, just so that the repo isn't empty. Alternatively we could make the canonical place for subgroup charters be centralized here, or somewhere else. I guess even if the charter lives in the debugging repo it's probably worth having a link somewhere people will look although I don't really know exactly where that would be.
It looks like the other charters are their own repos under WebAssembly. cg-charter and wg-charter. Not sure if it makes sense to do the same, however.
Ah I didn't even know those existed, maybe we should just put the subgroup charter in the cg-charter repo then.
