cmark-gfm External GFM spec repository

This repository is only place where we can find the GFM specs in raw format.

To make GFM implementations to easily test against specifications and to allow specification only feedback (issues, improvements, typos...), it would be better to have a separate github/gfm repository.

Idealy, the repository behind the official GFM spec site would be the spec repository where people discuss about it, contribute...

This would also allow GFM implementations to properly link to raw spec using a version git submodule instead of copy-pasting the spec.txt from the cmark repository.

Hi :wave:

Any news on this ? I have some issues to submit on the specs (typos, errors, inconsistencies between spec and example...)

Where's the GFM spec in this repo even? I can't find it! :o

Edit: found it! https://github.com/github/cmark-gfm/blob/master/test/spec.txt

The proper way to do it would be for GitHub to FORK the source spec repo: https://github.com/commonmark/commonmark-spec/ with commits showing the individual changes. I'll bet that such a repo exists internally, so all you'd have to do is publish it.
