Jump to: navigation, search


NOTE: This document is no longer maintained because the Web Applications Working Group was closed in October 2015 and its deliverables transferred to the Web Platform Working Group (WPWG). The WPWG has its own version of PubStatus.


This document contains current data regarding the (Publication) Status of specifications being developed by the Web Applications Working Group (aka WebApps). The data is provided in several tables: 1) API Specifications; 2) Web Components Specifications; 3) Widget Specifications; 4) Recommendations in Maintenance Mode; and 5) Specs NO Longer Active.

Note the WG's Charter enumerates all of the WG's deliverables.

Please see the section Table Key for information regarding interpreting the data in the tables.
