Abstract

How do you best use the W3C CG tools? Often the easiest way to learn is to see them in action. Learn how to:

  1. Create an account
  2. Join a group
  3. Make a blog post
  4. Use the wiki
  5. Use the different mailing lists
  6. Use IRC to create meeting minutes
  7. Make best use of the Tracker issue tracking tool, including IRC and mailing list integration

While you may not walk a way as an expert at any of these, you will know what is possible with the tools, and how to start using them effectively.
