Q: How do I add to Github issues?

Q: How do I suggest a new class for the standard?
24
A: Create a new issue in the Github repo, with "Suggested new class: " and a suggested class name as the title. Add some details about the class and why you're suggesting it in the comment section. In particular, if you think the new class is essential to the first draft of the standard, please say so and state why you believe this to be the case.
