Tools and services
The Gathering provides a small set of tools and services to support draft authoring, public review, and the standards workflow.
These tools are designed to keep the work open, traceable, and easy to follow from early draft through ratified standard.
Stream
Stream is The Gathering's public workspace for standards development. It is where draft text, review notes, and consensus records are kept so contributors can follow the full history of a document.
If you want to read active work, review drafts, or track a document through the process, Stream is the primary place to do it.
Draft template and authoring
For new draft work, The Gathering uses a shared authoring template. The TG Community Stream Draft Template provides the base files, structure, and release tooling used to prepare a Stream-Draft.
You can read more about how drafts work on the Stream-Drafts page.
Support and access
Most public reading can happen without an account, but accounts are used where practical process controls are needed, such as posting comments, attribution, and preserving workflow history.
If you need help with access, drafting, or the available tooling, use contact support.
