The W3C Web Applications (WebApps) Working Group is chartered to create specifications that enable improved client-side application development on the Web, including specifications both for application programming interfaces (APIs) for client-side development and for markup vocabularies for describing and controlling client-side application behavior.

We appreciate feedback on our work and charter through the public-webapps@w3.org mail list (archive) and the #webapps channel (logged here) on the W3C IRC server (irc.w3.org, port 6665).

See the WebApps Publication Status page for a list of all of the specs in progress and their publication status.

For discussion of matters related to DOM3 Events, the WebApps WG will be using the www-dom@w3.org mail list (archive).

For a summary of the group's working mode, see the WebApps Work Mode wiki.

The WG tracks its issues in public, using the mighty Tracker.
