I think we should also extract https://github.com/whatwg/dom/tree/review-drafts-w3c-additions somehow if we want to preserve that. I'd rather not have to keep non-master branches around.
Yes, we should transplant that history onto whatever solution we end up with and then delete the branch. I'll add a step.
Some stats on /var/www on the whatwg.org server (named "marquee") to inform how what we could/should do for version control:
git repack -a -d -f --depth=250 --window=250
results in a ~440MB repo (The existing whatwg.org repo is already ~340M.)By comparison, the review-drafts directories have only ~500 files. Putting only those under version control would be no problem at all.
Has hosting static files on GitHub Pages been considered? It doesn't sound like it would be too much effort, and we get (essentially) free storage.
The Memorandum of Understanding Between W3C and WHATWG lays out the process for WHATWG Review Drafts going through the REC process to be endorsed by the W3C, after which the Review Draft is updated to reflect this.
This has happened for the first time now with DOM, see https://dom.spec.whatwg.org/review-drafts/2019-06/. The details of how it was produced are in https://github.com/whatwg/dom/tree/review-drafts-w3c-additions, and updates were also posted in https://github.com/whatwg/dom/pull/767.
Remaining work to make this smoother for future publications:
