# [DRAFT] Shared-Everything Threads Proposal

This repository proposes additions to the WebAssembly specification for spawning and managing

threads — everything not covered by the already-approved [threads] proposal. It is a fork of

the [spec] repository for easier merging later. It is based on the [threads] proposal as a baseline,

though those spec changes are not yet included here. Read the [overview] for details.

[spec]: https://github.com/WebAssembly/spec

[threads]: https://github.com/WebAssembly/threads

[overview]: proposals/shared-everything-threads/Overview.md

Original `README` from upstream repository follows...

# spec

This repository holds the sources for the WebAssembly draft specification

(to seed a future

[WebAssembly Working Group](https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-new-work/2017Jun/0005.html)),

a reference implementation, and the official testsuite.

A formatted version of the spec is available here:

[webassembly.github.io/spec](https://webassembly.github.io/spec/),

Participation is welcome. Discussions about new features, significant semantic

changes, or any specification change likely to generate substantial discussion

should take place in

[the WebAssembly design repository](https://github.com/WebAssembly/design)

first, so that this spec repository can remain focused. And please follow the

[guidelines for contributing](Contributing.md).
