This was quite a quiet week for the 8th edition at the exception of the CSS Working Group which I could not follow properly. Feel free to chime in the comments to add information about CSS or other groups.

Open Web Platform Weekly Summary - 2011-04-11 - 2011-04-17

For this 7th edition, the HTML WG had discussions about accessibility related to images and tables with a few formal objections. The Last Call of HTML5 is approaching at a fast pace. There are active discussions about FileAPI and IndexedDB, which are fundamental bricks to enable Web applications in the browser. In the meantime, the HTTP Working Group has published a new series of drafts.

Open Web Platform Weekly Summary - 2011-04-04 - 2011-04-10

Shelley Powers, like me, published a late weekly. We are totally in synchronization in covering the Open Web Platform weekly news from HTML5 and broader topics. That said it was again quite active not only on the HTML WG mailing list but also on the Web apps WG mailing list. W3C is opening more ways to contribute and the CSS 2.1 is officially reaching Proposed Recommendation. Read and tell me if anything is missing.

Open Web Platform Weekly Summary - 2011-03-28 - 2011-04-03

When we start writing and or read about the activities around the Open Web Platform, we realize that the Web has never been that active. Everyone is proposing, developping, testing. And even if this weekly news from HTML5 and broader topics seemed to be long, it doesn’t cover everything. It is also important to realize that if you are passionate about one of these topics, the full information is accessible and open. Quite exciting. Some of these topics could be the source of long technical blog posts. If you do, please leave a comment or let me know.

Open Web Platform Weekly Summary - 2011-03-14 - 2011-03-20

This was a big week in terms of decisions. I recommend to read carefully the decision made by the HTML Working Group. They are always very detailed and give a very good overview about the issues. They also propose a way to reopen the issue with meaningful materials. There have been many proposals and there are two workshops. W3C Workshops are opened to anyone.
