Providing a reference implementation?

The specs are great. What I think is missing, is a reference implementation that:

• Keeps things very simple, and actual code minimal
• It's an actual implementation of JUST the standard, exactly as documented
• It's well documented

I happen to have written exactly that: https://github.com/mercmobily/best-webdriver . Documentation is here too: https://mercmobily.github.io/best-webdriver/index.html

I was wondering if you (as in the W3c) would be interested in making this project as part of the w3c umbrella, or under the webdriver project/repo. I would be happy to turn over copyright for the source code, or give the W3C unlimited rights, or whatever is required. I would only ask to stay as the main maintainer, since I know the codebase well.

I think a clean, crisp, strict-to-the-specs implementation was needed -- and that's why I wrote it. I now think that more people would benefit from this work if it became W3C's. So, here I am.

Please let me know if you are interested.

Start by reviewing the proposed best-webdriver repository and its linked documentation. Compare its scope with the WebDriver standard and repository goals; done would be a maintainer decision on whether and how to bring it under the W3C/WebDriver project, with ownership and maintainer expectations resolved.
