been involved with development/standardization of HTML, HTTP, URIs, XML, RDF, OWL, etc. Some commercial software development too.
http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/

I'm particularly interested in testing the tree construction stuff in a validator-like online service.

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.

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.

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.

Drafting for and reviewing the full HTML spec.
Tests for the 4 major browsers though mostly for firefox.
Browser maintenance and development for firefox.

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.... ; )

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.

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.

Senior-level experience in web development, including DOM scripting, OOP design patterns.
Technical writer. Involved in "open the web" initiative.

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'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.

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

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. Recent manuscript submitted for publication on SVG (under review Addison Wesley). Ten years in academic administration including development of instructional software and university web policy and administration. Development of some 2000 web pages for use in instruction on interface design and javascript. Several of these are ranked in the top ten for the query by Google. I am "spec-challenged."

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.

I am participating in the WHATWG since 2005. I'm doing QA and spec work for Opera since 2007.

I'm quite comfortable with the WHATWG proposals having contributed to them since their inception. Some more information can be found here: http://annevankesteren.nl/about

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.

I've been involved in the WHATWG work since 2004. I'm developing an HTML5 conformance checker and wrote my master's thesis about it. Previously, I've been involved in the Atom working group (feed format—not protocol) at the IETF. I've been involved in the Mozilla project in varying and fluctuating ways since 1999.

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.

MSc Computer Science, teaching experience, developer experience. Speciality: universally accessible web applications.

I can provide quick references in various formats (print, html, widgets etc.) and develop different types of formal grammars. I can also assist in accessibility reviewing.

Software/web development.

Web designer and developer for 5 years.
Interested in standards developing and usability.

If can do the translation of the documents to spanish.

Extensive experience with HTML, XHTML, CSS, DOM, and JavaScript - all started 8-9 years ago.

A good knowledge of Voice Interactivity technologies, like VoiceXML, Speech Grammar, Semantic Interpretation, and related.

Recent experience with SVG development.

On a daily basis, I do a lot of JavaScript+DOM+PHP work (and assorted HTML+CSS work).

I also have experience with Atom and RSS.

I do lots of web browser testing, especially Opera and Firefox. Submitted various bug reports, ranging from UI bugs to errors in implementations of specifications (SVG, CSS, Voice, etc).

Since 2006 I started to be interested of contributing to web standards, and related discussions on the WHATWG and W3C mailing lists. Since then I have contributed reviews and suggestions to Web Forms 2, HTML 5 and XBL 2. All of this work is done in spare time.

My site has more details and lists most of my work: robodesign.ro/mihai.

(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.

MS Computer Science, developer experience

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've worked as a professional web developer for 7 years and had it as a hobby for 10. I've invested large amounts of time in working groups, mailing lists and similar over the years to keep up to date on the current state of affairs and I feel that I am on the technical forefront of web development in Norway.

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.

My relevant expertise lies in HTML implementation and interoperability, spec editing, ECMAScript expertise in specifications, design, implementation and performance. I have previous experience contributing to groups including the WHATWG, Mozilla and W3-Style. I regularly write about technology for the novice. I hold two academic degrees, one in Mathematics-Computer Science and one in Philosophy.

Been part of the standards movement since 2003, familiar with HTML 4.01 spec (and, as I always end up saying, <i> is NOT deprecated), decent knowledge of XML 1.0 and XHTML 1.0 specs, as well as knowledge of parts of CSS 2.1 (but what parts I do know, I know well). I'm an implementer of Atom and RSS, with plans to implement HTML5.

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).

Several years' experience from writing tutorials and articles related to Web standards and best practices in Web development.

Participant in WHATWG mailing list since 2004. (Co)developer of a few HTML-related tools including html5lib parser.

Test cases for parsing in particular

I work on the layout engine in Mozilla/Firefox (since 1998, full time since 2003) and have been involved in the CSS community for about the same amount of time (and on the CSS Working Group since 2000). I've also been a bit involved with the WHATWG, I was on the CDF working group for about a year, and I'm Mozilla's representative to the W3C Advisory Committee.

Several years of experience with HTML, XML and related technologies. Been following the WHATWG since the start (although not super closely).

I've done some test cases, and I expect to do more.

Professional web application developer since 2000-2003 (depending on where you draw the line of professionalism; see http://have-skill.com/ for specific skills). Active participant in the WHATWG during 2004 and early 2005; only lurking since, although I try to at least keep up with changes to the draft.

(time permitting)

Specifically for sections 3/4 of the current WHATWG web-apps draft, and sections 2/3 of the current WHATWG web-forms draft.

Through personal interest, my work at Backbase (XBL, XForms and Web Forms 2.0-like languages) and study projects, I have gained experience with declarative web apps and various browser and W3C technologies such as Javascript, HTML, CSS, XSLT, XBL, DOM, XML Events, XML Schema, RDF, etc. I also have used XHTML2 as a document markup language for an internal publishing system.

Review of sections related to my experience and interests.

I've been using web technologies for 8 or so years. For about the last 4 years, I've been heavily involved in implementing support fo HTML and CSS (amongst other things) in the engine of a lightweight web browser (http://www.netsurf-browser.org)

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.

3 years web development experience using web standards, and 10 years other IT experience.

Interested in forms and accessibility and would like to help out where ever I can. I'm very interested in maintaining and expanding HTML's semantics while also creating purposeful? UI elements.

I am a full time web designer with the American Mathematical Society and own my own design firm Eleven Limited, LLC.

Experience developing parsers, microformats, and other standardized blocks of semantic markup. Experience in education and design that may be useful in developing reference materials.

willing to lead insofar as educational materials are concerned

detailed review: mainly DOM APIs and scripting issues
test case development: mainly scripting & media features
manual test result: happy to test on Safari (latest shipping and WebKit trunk) as needed
design principles: willing to continue editing if needed and desired
web browser maintenance, web browser enhancements: it's my job! at least for Safari/WebKit

Web developer with several years of programming experience outside Web development. Previously worked on Web sites and various Web standards as a hobby. Degree in Computer Systems Engineering from Boston University.

Software development experience, technical aptitude, lots of free time.

I have been tracking developments in human-computer interaction ,which started with my college project titled ajacss where i developed low resolution css based displays and animation built entirely from css, apart from a SALT compliant speech recognition implementation for kiosks .

I am currently working with TutorVista -the online tutoring startup ,in developing its rich and interactive applications using XML and SVG as the standards for communication. Apart from authoring the javascript library and client-side frameworks at work, ive has also worked on human-computer proof-of-concepts and other garage hacks since my college days .I have also been featured on Ajaxian previously for my prototypes on speech recognition with ajax ,and accessable css prototypes . These days I spends my free time spear-heading the Returnable Project - the web delivery mashup framework , authoring the Reusable javascript library , part of the team at TechEnclave.com , and other things client-side . My blog that has been active since 2003 , is over at http://bosky101.blogspot.com where i talk about javascript , scripting and technology .

I am a quick learner and a proficient speaker and writer. With guidance,I am willing to work on new enhancements,understand w3c writing guidelines and help in editing,and extending documents - both with my expertise as well as those who work in collaboration.

Some years of experience with web applications and the related technologies. Testing and writing test cases.

No particular reservations on test case types (yet).

Eleven years in aerospace Quality Assurance writing process documents and performing data analysis; numerous years constructing web sites; and, several years advocating Web Standards.

I removed my participation in "tutorial development, quick reference, course materials,..." due to schedule conflicts. However, I will be available with to offer assistance with any member who wants it.

As editor I'll have to interact with all of the groups, of course, but the ones I've checked are the ones I imagine I'll spend the most time dealing with.

Web development for 7 years.

Now I'm colaborating in the development of FCKeditor, so I can try to help adding there new features or fix existing problems.

Front-end developer - big experience with xhtml 1.0/1.1 + CSS, as well as html 4.01 and browser-compatibility issues.

Browser: I mostly use Opera for surfing and Firefox for development.
I test my pages in: Firefox 1.5, Firefox 2.0, Opera 9, IE 6.0, IE 5.5, eventually IE 5.0.

I'm a researcher in the area of forms generation and thus particularly interested in WF2 adoption and evaluation of its merits. Such work will probably not always be carried out by me personally, depending on the need students might register for the WG as well, but the general idea is that I'll take care of WG-related issues for them.
Beside that I'm firmly rooted in the free software community and will
watch out for issues such as free codecs and KDE-related topics (KHTML renderer, Quanta+ editor) in the HTML5 specification process.

A student thesis will be written to compare XF/XF-Transitional/WF2 and to find out about declarative vs. imperative forms needs (cf discussion on public-html).

Worked with HTML for several years, been a participant to the WHATWG Mailing list.

I am an associate professor of Computer Information Systems at William Rainey Harper College in Palatine, IL, USA. I've been teaching web development since 1999. My background also include over a decade as an information technology professional doing software development, systems analysis, and web development. Please seem http://terrymorris.net for more information.

Web designer working with HTML for several years.

Close to a decade of web development experience.

Time permitting, I'm interested in helping to edit a document targeted at content authors, created from the final recommendation but pared down considerably. This would contain no implementation information.

I would also like to create a document for content authors detailing differences from HTML 4.

Extensive experience with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, XHTML, XML, XSLT, RDF etc.

Prototype browser implementation (XHTML, CSS, SVG, XForms), XForms standardization

My PhD thesis at should be relevant info:
http://lib.tkk.fi/Diss/2007/isbn9789512285662/

i have been an invited expert to the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) since 1997. i have served on the Protocols and Formats WG (since before it had a name); the Authoring Tool Accessibility WG; the Evaluation & Repair WG; the User Agent Accessibility Guidelines WG; the Education and Outreach WG; and i served as the Interest-Group Member-at-Large of the WAI Coordination group.

i played a role in drafting:

* Authoring Tool Accessibility Guidelines, 1.0 (ATAG)
* User Agent Accessibility Guidelines, 1.0 (UAAG)
* Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, 1.0 (WCAG)
* XML Authoring Guidelines (XAG)

in addition, i am a member of the Acessibility Working Group (A11Y) at freestandards.org with a concentration on Compound Document Formats (CDF), Scaleable Vector Graphics (SVG), and Web APIs.

i have contributed to and built test suites; i have contributed to the drafting of guidelines; i have extensive experience in usability testing; i serve as my own authoring tool; and am interested in furthering the accessibility advances of HTML 4.01

I would consider myself proficient in HTML/XHTML, CSS, JavaScript, and ASP.Net. I spend much of my spare time reading about web standards, accessibility, and best practices.

I'm not so experienced in HTML, I practice web standards every day since only 2 years. I'm currently a 23 years old student and love to share my knowledge. I think I can bring a "fresh vision" of HTML, just like new HTML users (or future users).

Web developer since 1998.

Currently chair of Forms working group and editor of XForms. Previously involved heavily in authoring and editing the family of specs related to XML Signatures, including XML canonicalization, exclusive canonicalization, XML signatures, and XPath filter 2.

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've worked as a professional web developer for 4 years and had it as a hobby for 9. I've spent allot of time in following mailinglists and some webstandartisas bloggers.

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].

Both of these studies should be repeated, or some other selection of sites could be tested, but I don't have enough resources at the moment to survey more than 100,000 sites.

[2] http://triin.net/2005/04/27/Web_Standards_in_Estonia

Web developer for over 10 years. Intimately familiar with HTML 4.01 spec and the implementation issues among browsers. I've followed WHAT WG spec development for last year, I'm currently educating myself in the fine details of HTML5 as defined by WHAT WG to be better able to contribute to W3 HTML WG.

Detailed review of sections of spec - which features/sections - as much as is needed
Manual test result - which browser? - Safari, Opera, Firefox, legacy browsers on both Mac and Windows
Tutorials, course materials - happy to assist in writing or review any tutorials or course materials
Authoring tool development - will work or help on HTML5 bundle for Textmate

I am currently a student studying web development with a strong focus on usability and accessibility.

I had been introduced to HTML in 1999. Since then, the front-end web development is my profession.

It would be rewarding to see the skills and expertise I was lucky to accumulate put to good use. Any kind of good use.

Web developer/designer with several years experience creating standards-compliant HTML, XHTML, and CSS.

Three years practical experience designing and coding standards compliant and accessible websites using HTML4, XHTML (all flavours, including 1.1 sent as xml), and CSS. I have designed and coded numerous sites, large and small, working with organisations of varying sizes, especially as part of my full time job of the last two years as Designer and now Senior Designer at karova.com

Example sites I have coded/designed include:

http://shop.wwf.org.uk/ [WWF World Wide Fund for Nature]
http://www.dedicatetrees.com/ [Woodland Trust]
http://www.wt-store.com/ [Woodland Trust]
http://stdavidshospice.org.uk/ [Small hospice charity]

I have also worked on other non-web HTML based applications for business.

I am familiar with creating bi-lingual websites.
I have good experience of real-world usage of accessible HTML/CSS and their role/importance as exists currently in the charity and business sector.

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.

Web standards advocate for nearly 6 years, contributor to CSS 2.1

Re: review, I can tackle any section that's needed.

Worked as Team Lead for all front-end code for Gateway.com bringing their site closer to web standards. Was the key proponent for web standards at my current job to the point that it became a selling point to help bring in new clients.

I'm open to any section. Just let me know what is expected.

7 years deep web experience, been messing around with the web more than 10. I am particularly interested the new web technologies and standards that I see emerging further every day through W3C and outside work (Mobile, Future HTML, RDFa, Semantic Web, etc.)

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.

Thanks,
-Ben

Three years practical experience coding standards compliant. Front-end developer since one year.

10 years personal and 7 years professional experience in a web-related role. HTML, CSS, Layout design, Graphic design, Identity design, UI design, User-centered design, Information Architecture, Usability.

8 years experience as a professional web designer / developer

Almost 10 years of document markup expertise with special focus on large-scale, multi-client platforms and portals (based on web standards). Familiar with affiliated topics, especially usability (applies to document authors, too, sure). W3C-close generalist.

http://meiert.com/en/

I've been involved web development since 1996 (starting professionally in 1997). I've coded (and still do) HTML pages by hand but also with WYSIWYG editors for academic institutions, large corporations, small business, and personal use. I've constructed web sites that used Arabic, Bengali, Chinese, English, French, German, and many others. Additionally, I am well versed in the server-side scripting languages and content management systems that are often used to generate HTML pages. Finally, I have wore other hats like system administrator (setting up Apache or IIS), project manager and my current role as an interface designer. Currently I work at a non-profit research institution that creates large-scale linguistic data for research purposes (biomedical study, text mining, machine translation, social-linguistic study...) that are often sourced from web-based content.

Happy to help run a usability session with either lo-fi (paper) or hi-fi (working demo) prototypes in the Philadelphia area. Likewise, I can test prototypes and report back my findings. I usually have access to Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows workstations.

I am the president of a local Web development user group (W3Québec) that promotes good web development practices and web standards in the province of Québec Canada

I am still figuring out how I can help. I don't have much time, so I can't be in charge of anything big or time consuming. I should also add evangelization of the spec in our local user group. Translation of specs / tutorials in french is also something I could work on.

Extensive experience with (x)HTML, CSS and WCAG. Experience in standardization with the Quebec governement and ISO (participating in working groups related to human interfaces and accessibility).

From 1993-96 I was an observer in the International Committee for Accessible
Document Design, which developed an SGML DTD for use by publishers to enable
books to be made more accessible to people with print disabilities. In 1997, I
joined the first W3C Web Accessibility Initiative working group, and
participated in discussions surrounding the accessibility of what was then
known as HTML Cougar, which later became HTML 4, and CSS 2.0. In 1998-99 I
participated in the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines working group, which
took WCAG 1.0 to Recommendation status. From 2000-2004 I was privileged to
serve, with Gregg Vanderheiden, as co-Chair of the WCAG working group. I have
also been involved in the WAI Protocols and Formats working group, discussing
accessibility issues related to a number of W3C technologies. Other relevant
activities include participation in technical committees of the Daisy
Consortium, and involvement, as an invited expert, in the W3C's Device
Independence working group. I use both braille and speech output systems to
access the Web and have an abiding interest in research related to non-visual
user interfaces and document processing applications.

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.

Worked on the accessibility implementations of Opera and Amaya, and a number of authoring tools. Worked on various accessibility specs and teaching people to produce accessible web content.

Accessibility features

- what were they in HTML 4 and if they worked did they get into the draft yet?
- what are the new accessibility improvements in the HTML 5 draft.

Web developer since 1995, write server-side software that produces, consumes, and processes markup on an organization scale (CMS), as well as client-side (JS) part of the software.

I'm generally interested with the Web in the mobile/handheld device context. I wrote my Master thesis about it: http://hendry.iki.fi/msc.pdf

Testing mobile UAs

Have worked on Safari/WebKit since July 2006. Sporadic web development experience since 1998.

Happy to provide testing on Safari/WebKit

I've been web developing since late 90's, and I did my undergrad in Computer Science. I have been developing a cross-browser implementation of Web Forms 2.0 (http://code.google.com/p/webforms2/) so I am pretty familiar with that spec.

I've been developing a WF2 cross-browser implementation (a prototype of the new features using scripting); I will be continuing to prototype new features in the implementation. I've also been developing a WF2 test suite (http://webforms2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/testsuite/index.html) to test this implementation, and I can head up the development of more tests.

All MacOS X-based browsers available (and Windows XP via Parallels on MacOS). Happy to pitch in with Validation/Checking service dev/ops as needed.

web browser deployment in large intranet
issues for large corporate environments
legacy user agent dependancies

exploring release of internal test framework to public domain.

I've done plenty of education and outreach work concerning web standards and web accessibility, including being on WAI's EOWG for the last 4+ years.

I have also worked on many teams where we have authored standards-compliant large scale Web sites for all types of people and organization.

spec, standard procedure authoring; instruction to users.

I'm developing on web since 1999, and I've always read W3C's recommandations. I try — in each of my development — to make the best work as possible. 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.

I'm particulary interesting by making turorial development and helping people to learn.

7 years of web design and development experience.

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 work mainly as a J2EE Web Developer.
I am very confident with both the HTML/XHTML and CSS specifications and strict following of web standards has always been a goal.
I am a strong advocate of usability and accessibility standards, after all the web is for everyone.

Drafting for and reviewing mainly the "Semantics and structure of HTML elements" section.
Since I'm a developer, my main concern is to help producing a specification that is the best it can be for web applications.

Senior-level experience in document markup and CSS, grown since 1997. Familiar with affiliated topics, especially contributing (code, ideas) to W3C QA Tools (W3C Markup Validator) and promoting them (openSUSE Linux). W3C-close generalist.

I would participate or lead (with help of experts) in working out a solution to enrich (X)HTML 5 with appropriate markup elements and attributes for an effective anti-SPAM protection mechanism against harvesting email addresses and chat messenger IDs, as http://www.w3.org/TR/xmldsig-core/ and, more concrete, http://xmlns.com/foaf/spec/#term_mbox_sha1sum provide and recommend for their purposes.

I've been working with HTML since 1998. Wrote help files using HTML and JavaScript for Nortel Networks in 1999 and became a freelance HTML/JavaScript/Flash debugger and author in 2000.

I have been designing & developing websites since 1996 and have done so professionally since 2001. I have a background in psychology and philosophy and have worked as a usability & accessibility consultant for the past 4 years. During that time, I've had a lot of experiences which have lead to a broad view of how sites are being produced - by everything from small companies to Fortune 200 companies.

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.

accessibility features of html

I am a multimedia standards person, focused on the new media tags.

Working on the web for 9 years with extensive knowledge with xhtml/css, web standards, semantic markup and accessiblity.

Professional Web Developer/Software Engineer since 2001 (experienced in both front and back-end technologies). Started coding HTML way back in 1995.

Extensive web application development since 1996 across many environments. Technical and policy writing experience. CISSP.

Primarily interested in items relevant to web application development.

I'm a member of the new Accessiblity Labs team at Microsoft, and am responsible for strategy and incubation around Web Accessibility. I've worked at Microsoft since 1996, mostly on projects that touched the web in one way or another. Among other roles, I was a development lead on the www.msn.com home page, a program manager on Office Graphics, and drove accessiblity for Windows Live.

I have a lot of experience with making complex, dynamic web applications accessible, while still making them compelling in a highly competetive market. I have a strong interest in semantics of documents, graphics, and especially of user interface controls and their behavior.

I've been a member of the WCAG 2.0 working group since 2000, and have recently joined PF.

My primary goal in this group is around driving practical technical solutions for tricky accessibiltiy problems, in a way that can meet the needs of both accessibility consumers and mainstream web authors. I'm happy to do whatever is needed to further that goal.

Areas where I think I can have the most impact are forms, reviewing existing spec text, and issue tracking. I'd be glad to write spec text or test cases where needed, and I've done both for WCAG.
