Doing some of the quick ones (figures, structure, conformance) in remove-jquery branch.

Update: Leaving them for others. Keeping that branch for anyone who wants to use the work already done in it.

[marcoscaceres]

Maybe we should leave those for interns? We have a few other high priority things that I'd really like for use to work together on: ✨ https://github.com/w3c/respec/issues/1804 ✨

[marcoscaceres]

Hi @akansha2608, check out tge developer’s guide:
https://github.com/w3c/respec/wiki/Developers-Guide

I’ll try to find you on Monday and give you some tips. But have a play and have a look around the wiki too.

[treyhboy]

Hi, @marcoscaceres @sidvishnoi can I work on this one?

[marcoscaceres]

Sure! Feel free to take any of the above.

[anoited007]

@akansha2608 and @treyhboy Which ones are you guys working on? Wanna take a stab at it too.

[marcoscaceres]

@anoited007, please feel free to grab any of them.

[anoited007]

@marcoscaceres Sorry I missed ur follow up. I will get to work then.

[Swapnilr1]

Can I work on this issue if it is not already in progress?

[sidvishnoi]

Hi! Looks like now only core/issue-notes remains.
@saschanaz are you going to leave this one for the rest of us? 😂

[Swapnilr1]

@sidvishnoi Alright, actually when I saw this only 5/8 were marked complete. I will look at some other issue.

[marcoscaceres]

@Swapnilr1 easy one https://github.com/w3c/respec/issues/1959 (remove some dead code)

[marcoscaceres]

@Swapnilr1 you can also search "src/" for "$(" to see if there are any other jQuery things we missed.

[Swapnilr1]

@marcoscaceres Thanks. I am working on #1762 at the moment. And then I will work on this, if not already done by then.

[devanshbatra04]

Hi, I am taking up the last one if that's fine.

[sidvishnoi]

I've added tests in list above. So, someone can do them also.

[devanshbatra04]

Can I also take the tests up as well? I have never written tests before (just debugged), excited to learn! :sweat_smile:

[yatri1609]

@sidvishnoi Is there anything left that I can work on in this issue?

[sidvishnoi]

@yatri1609 Unfortunately, there isn't anything left in this issue. We can use your help at other issues like https://github.com/w3c/respec/issues/1950, https://github.com/w3c/respec/issues/1713, https://github.com/w3c/respec/issues/1631, https://github.com/w3c/respec/issues/1239

[marcoscaceres]

I think with #1979, we are jQuery free 🎉🤞?

[saschanaz]

Confirmed we have no more $().

[sidvishnoi]

We're jQuery free but we're still shipping jQuery for backward compatibility.
I believe you two were waiting on me to close this issue? Thanks 😄 ❤️
