Please say a few words about any relevant background experience that you bring to the HTML WG.
| Responder | What background experience and expertise do you bring to the group? |
|---|---|
| Dan Connolly | been involved with development/standardization of HTML, HTTP, URIs, XML, RDF, OWL, etc. Some commercial software development too. http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/ |
| Chasen Le Hara | I am very, very familiar with the HTML 4 spec (and the XTML 1 "spec," but that's not saying much). I write XHTML every day, CSS every other day, and JS at least once a week. |
| Jonas Sicking | Been working with web development since 1996 and implementing various web standards in the gecko engine since 2000. I've also been doing some W3C spec work. |
| Dylan Smith | Daily user of a blithering array of tag-soup: html 4 (strict and trans), xhtml, xml, newsml, nitf. It'd be nice if something made the pieces fit together better.... ; ) |
| Murray Maloney | I am a technical writer. My W3C experience is extensive. I have been a member of every HTML WG, including the earliest one in the IETF. I was product manager for HTML editing and viewing tools, including accessibility tools. I have also been quite effective in a QA role. |
| Kornel Lesinski | Senior-level experience in web development, including DOM scripting, OOP design patterns. Technical writer. Involved in "open the web" initiative. |
| Ryan King | |
| Debi Orton | I've been coding web sites since 1996, and have spent MANY hours wandering through the HTML/XHTML/CSS documentation learning how to make it work. I have also been involved in the New York State (U. S.) accessibility initiative since 1999. Since 2003, I have been the co-chair of the NYS Forum's IT Accessibility Committee, which provides support and resources to state agency web developers, and it is in that role that I joined this group. Although New York's policy and standards diverged from the WCAG when the threat of 2.0 seemed close (2004), we have urged using web standards, such as HTML, XHTML, CSS, XML to achieve accessibility. I write supporting documentation on a regular basis. Most recently, our Governor signed an executive order decreeing that all public meetings were to made available to the public via video webcasts -- an entirely new concept to State web developers -- and I have been working with our committee to provide information and resources on implementing the executive order in an accessible way. I have been following the ARIA group, since AJAX is becoming somewhat of a problem for people using screen readers, and saw the call to join this working group. |
| David Dailey | Didn't we already fill this out when we signed up? That's fine -- I think my earlier version may have been more complete though. PhD quantitative psychology, faculty appointments in depts of math, computer science and psychology. Publications in mathematics, linguistics, computer science, psychology. Single artist gallery exhibit last year, including over 50 works in HTML, SVG, pen and ink, Adobe Photoshop. Research in graph theory and some relations to statistics.

I hear by best work, a work that correctly written for everyone (including accessible). The accessibility (and a fortiori well-formed HTML, CSS, Javascript and co.) is my first reason to join and contribute to this working group. The second reason is that I think Internet has a great future ahead of him. Internet could be very powerfull, and my little (but strong) experience should be usefull. |
| Wesley Upchurch | 7 years of web design and development experience. |
| Preston Bannister | Of immediate relevance is the exercise of the past few years, in replacing a desktop application with a web-based equivalent. The task called for pushing (hard!) on the limits of HTML/CSS/Javascript in current browsers, so I have a pretty good grasp of that domain. Played with HTML a bit since 1992, but stayed away from trying to do anything complex until the playing field was less of a mess (when we saw NN4 fading, IE6 dominant, and Mozilla/Firefox rising). As a single common thread, pretty much everything I've worked on in the past 25 years has had a network in the middle - all commercial software of various sorts, mostly for intranets. Worked on GUI applications (on and off) starting in the early 1980's. Played the role of security "expert" (not a title I'd claim) for most of the projects I've been involved with - mainly as I'd read up on security/encryption/authentication for a task in 1985, figured out what needed to be done, and got an unexpected visit from the NSA. An interest in artificial intelligence (AI) was what originally brought me to software. Sent a good amount of time using Lisp, after signing up for a couple AI-related projects. |

I'm willing to work with or build any test cases. I can check tests in Safari, Firefox, and Opera (any version of those browsers). I like making tutorials and would be happy to make some for HTML 5. |

I am not able to commit myself sufficiently to offer my services as an editor (due to ongoing health issues). However, I would like to have a significant role in the development of the HTML specification, as an occasional writer and/or as a critical reviewer. |
| Kornel Lesinski |

I'm going to write tutorials for new features, in Polish, and gather feedback. I'm testing Web Forms on some of my websites, usually writing JS implementations. I have prototype of non-schema based conformance checker + tidy tool for HTML4 and XHTML, which (if time permits) I plan to update for HTML5. |

I can help with issue tracking, etc, if you use the "breadth-first" approach...I'm a little hesitant to volunteer if you use the "depth-first" approach |
| David Dailey |
|
I could help as needed (and as appropriate to my expertise) with any of the checked areas, but certainly not with all. Sign me up for slots where I can be useful and where there seems to be an undersupply of volunteers, or where my expertise (whatever that is) may prove valuable. Concerning tutorials and other training materials, I my expertise is currently limited to proofreading. After some preliminary guides are developed I might be able to help with course materials or even test suites. In the area of design principles, I could work on non-normative principles. |
| Simon Pieters |

I will be working on a test suite for HTML5 for Opera this summer (week 25..31), probably focussing on already implemented features that currently lack tests. Reviewing the parts of the spec that I write tests against and running the tests that I write in various browsers goes without saying. Since I will be writing many test cases I will have to organize them somehow and so I could well help with organization of other tests too. I'm currently maintaining http://simon.html5.org/html5-elements. I might be interested in contributing to tutorial development. |
| Anne van Kesteren |
|
I have worked on tests for Web Forms 2, <canvas>, the HTML5 parsing algorithm and several smaller features. I'm planning to continue that work whenever time lets me. I might be willing to help out with test suite organization, but I'm not sure if I have enough time to fully help with getting it to work. |
| Henri Sivonen |
|
A conformance checking service and a schema are already well under way: http://hsivonen.iki.fi/validator/html5/ http://syntax.whattf.org/ As a side effect, I have to do substantial review of the sections concerning parsing and non-script-related document conformance. Already participated in the drafting of the design principles. |

(when time allows) I review any section of the spec, and provide my suggestions. I can do test case development: from parsing to interoperability tests, JavaScript, DOM, HTML, XML and anything needed. I have experience making test cases for bug reports (most of them for Opera). I can do complete, in-depth reviews/surveys of top web sites, when needed. I can precisely pin-point errors made, provide tips for fixing/improving the sites, provide links to resources for learning and related work. However, given my current schedule I cannot do it periodically. Tutorial development experience: I wrote a tutorial about Voice Interactivity for Opera (see dev.opera.com). I plan to write more tutorials going over new teritory (not only Voice Interactivity). Regarding authoring tool development: I am working on my own WYSIWYG editor, which includes a page cleaner - both projects are not yet public. I plan to contribute more to this working group over the summer. |

Other tasks as needed. drafting spec text: any features/sections needed test case development: any needed manual test result: Safari/Mac, Firefox/Win are primary, but can download others |

I'd like to point out that my level of involvement in the HTML WG is higly dependent on the time I have available for it. I participate in the WG on my private time which is often quite pressed already. I would love to participate in the WG in my working hours, but unfortunately my employer does not acknowledge or support my choice in joining this WG, so I have to do it outside of work. Given this, the checked items above does only reflect what I would like to contribute with, not what I will necessarily do. E.g., I can't really commit to anything with my current work situation. If my employer embraces my membership, I will be able to commit more strongly to given tasks, but at the moment, I'm just trying to contribute the best I can with discussing issues on the lists and doing as much work as possible off-list. |

Detailed review of any sections that involve the parsing of any HTML documents (through reading them with a fine tooth-comb while implementing them). I'm willing to help with the tutorial/whatever writing (as general writing of things like that is far far better than my writing of specs), depending on what the decision is of what sort of document(s) to write. I'm also willing to help move data into the issue tracker, from external sources, though how much I do that will inevitably be very time dependant (as I'd rather do the two above before I did such a thing). |

I'm likely to be implementing the parsing section of the WHATWG spec in the relatively near future. As part of that process, I'll be reviewing that section (at least) in some detail. Being involved in UA development, more testcases are always beneficial. I'd be happy to contribute in this area as much as time allows. I probably don't have sufficient time to help with editing any testsuite, however. |

I am interested in working out a forms language for HTML that meets as well as possible the requirements that inspired both XForms and WF2. I am especially interested in an architecture that allows relatively seamless scale up from html4 tag soup forms to xforms, where I view aspects of WF2 as being somewhere in the middle with possibly some pieces not being able to morph, without adjustment, to something more like xforms (which I see ultimately manifesting itself in the lifecycle of forms that grow sufficiently complex over time). |

I have done some previous work on analyzing/validating the markup on a number of pages [1]. Also some periodic surveys on Estonian websites [2].

I am interested in any elements of the HTML5 specification that will potentially differ from those set out in existing HTML/XHTML specification. Main concerns are accessibility features and semantics in the language. I would like to review any such potential modifications, with the intent to question why such changes may be being proposed, how those changes may effect existing sites, ramifications of any changes, and whether such modifications or additions enhance and clarify the accessibility and semantics of the language. |

I'd be willing to help efforts in any of these areas, I hesitate so say I could lead as I do not know if there are prescribed processes or procedures the W3C expects. I clicked through in response to Dan's call for more help with "issue tracking, summarization, and clustering" I don't know exactly what that entails (e.g. monitoring the Email list, convening small groups to discuss issues via phone or email, etc.) I have been told I have a way of summarizing and crystallizing an issue or discussion so other can better understand it which may be an asset here and I am willing to help.

I am interested in reviewing sections of the spec that have significant accessibility-related impact, including media elements and the forthcoming draft of the Forms section. From recent discussions it appears that most of the relevant issues have already been raised, but I will nevertheless review the draft and report any further comments. I plan to participate in working group discussions, particularly, but not exclusively, related to accessibility and hope to play a constructive role in clarifying issues, discussing proposals and facilitating the emergence of well designed and practical solutions. |

I would be deeply interested in assisting wherever I am capable, but primarily in areas cited above as my areas of interest. As I get my feet wet within the WG, I may be interested in expanding my involvement. Specifically regarding my answer to which sections of the spec I'd be willing to review, I would say on a broad view it would be "Semantics and structure of HTML elements" and more specifically, Section 3.3, "3.3 Documents and document fragments" as well as the discussions of forms and tables. |
