Call for Participation in Web Editing Community Group
The Web Editing Community Group has been launched:
The mission of the Web Editing Community Group is to incubate proposals and gather implementation and developer feedback on technologies related to text editing on the Web. The group provides an open forum for exploring new ideas, revisiting existing editing-related features, and developing technical proposals before they are considered for standardization.
The scope of the Community Group will be aligned with that of the Web Editing Working Group.
The primary deliverables of the Community Group are technical proposals, explainers, use cases, requirements documents, and other incubation materials within its scope. As a Community Group, the group does not publish W3C Recommendations or other formal standards-track specifications. Instead, proposals developed by the group are expected to be discussed openly, refined through community and implementation feedback, and eventually transferred to the W3C Web Editing Working Group or another appropriate standards body for formal standardization work.
The Community Group will coordinate closely with the W3C Web Editing Working Group. To encourage participation and reduce meeting overhead, the Community Group will use the same meeting schedule as the Working Group. Individual agenda items may be designated as either Community Group or Working Group discussions, depending on the nature and maturity of the work being discussed.
In order to join the group, you will need a W3C account. Please note, however, that W3C Membership is not required to join a Community Group.
This is a community initiative. This group was originally proposed on 2026-06-16 by Xiaoqian Wu. The following people supported its creation: An Qi (Angel) Li, Xueyuan Jia, Xiaoqian Wu, Fuqiao Xue and Ruoxi Ran. W3C’s hosting of this group does not imply endorsement of the activities.
The group must now choose a chair. Read more about how to get started in a new group and good practice for running a group.
We invite you to share news of this new group on social media and other channels.
If you believe that there is an issue with this group that requires the attention of the W3C staff, please email us at site-comments@w3.org
Thank you,
W3C Community Development Team
