Migrate ECMAScript 2016 to Github and publish draft 1

ES2016 Draft 1

This release marks the beginning of ECMAScript’s journey toward version 2016. I am excited to announce that ECMAScript’s Development has moved to GitHub and ECMAScript’s Specification has moved from Word to Ecmarkup — a custom dialect of HTML built for writing ECMAScript specifications. This change will make it much easier for the JavaScript community to contribute to its development.

The current specification is simply a conversion from the ES2015 Word document using some awesome tools. This process introduced a number of bugs. These will be worked out in future releases. Please help us by filing bugs for issues you find!

Going forward I will be releasing new drafts of ECMAScript using GitHub releases. Watch this repository to stay up to date!
