I’m just back from 3 weeks off. I’m restarting the Open Web Platform weekly summary with an incomplete summary of what happened in the last few weeks, but mostly things that caught my eyes. The next weeks editions will be hopefully better.

Open Web Platform Weekly Summary - 2011-12-05 - 2011-12-11
The Open Web Platform weekly summary is about love for the open Web, about the work we do together, about the hours we spent every day to create a better Web. I can work in this domain, because others gave an open environment for working. Let’s keep it open.

I have been busy the last two weeks with traveling for conferences and workshop. I skipped the last weekly summary of the Open Web Platform. Let’s get that right on track and give information for the last two weeks about HTML5 and broader topics such as Web apps discussions and HTTP. The May 22 deadline for entering Last Call is approaching quickly. In two weeks, a new challenging phase of the work is starting. As a reminder we do not exit a recommendation phase but always entering the next one.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Dear W3C…
What is the best place to talk to the W3C? With many mailing-lists, blogs or wikis, groups in the organization have more than a couple of ears on. Yet sometimes one stumbles upon the best feedback or ideas on other random blogs or sites. And there comes the dilemma: centralize and simplify feedback, or spend more time scouting for faraway ideas?
