At TPAC 2019, Amelia Bellamy-Royds
(W3C Invited Expert) explained how the SVG Community Group makes
it easier for SVG developers and content creators to engage with
the W3C standardization
process. See Amelia's video
interview.
As chair of this group, Amelia invites
developers and designers to propose new SVG features and
requirements, by publishing in the
group's github
repository.
In this other TPAC video, Wendy Reid (Rakuten/Kobo), co-chair of
the W3C Web Publishing Working Group, reported on the current
status and goals of the Publishing Working
Group. See Wendy's video
interview.
The group's main focus now is to bring
accessibility to publishing, specifically for audio books. This
specification is a profile of the Publication Manifest. Find out
more in their github
repository. Finally, Wendy invites the developer community to
implement the group's standards and to create the future of
publishing both on the Web and beyond!
During the W3C Developer
meetup in Fukuoka last month, Alice Boxhall (Google) made
the case that accessibility and innovation actually go very well
together. Designing for accessibility leads to better solutions,
and in her presentation Alice went through a few examples from
both recent and older history of technology where solving
problems for people with disability created solutions for
everybody!

presentation video.
