W3C creates the technical specifications regarded by the Web Community at large as "Web standards", but to lead the Web to its full potential, it must ensure that its deliverables - W3C Recommendations - are implemented correctly. W3C has decided to take a new lead in improving the quality of implementation for W3C technologies. The Quality Assurance Activity gathers and formalizes QA efforts for the various languages and protocols we develop (see the matrix).
W3C's QA news are also available as a RSS feed.
