- The tremendous work done across the Consortium has
been gradually moving to GitHub to allow homogeneous
work-spaces. As a result, we're doing a better
tracking of
our 665 GitHub
repositories, including
their settings.
- The transition
requirements have been updated to keep up with
the Process changes. We're looking at switching to
use GitHub
issues for transitions.
- Testing the
Web: web-platform-tests
(WPT) is an effort to build a cross-browser testsuite for
the majority of the web platform
- The Project created
a Core
team to ease decisions. It reflects a broad
range of stakeholders, who have the skills necessary
to ensure that the project remains true to its
stated purpose of improving interoperability on the
web platform. W3C continues its support and
participation to the project, as well as leveraging
the effort to improve its specifications.
