Business Groups

W3C hosts Community Groups to support the incubation of new Web and Web-adjacent technology. Community Groups enable anyone to socialize their ideas for the Web at the W3C for possible future standardization.

Please note that Community Groups do not create W3C standards. In many cases, Community Group technologies that gain traction transition to standardization in a W3C Working Group.

Publishing Business Group

The Publishing Business Group fosters ongoing participation by members of the publishing industry and overall publishing ecosystem in the development of the Web for publishing, and serves as a conduit for feedback between the publishing ecosystem and W3C. See the Publishing Business Group Charter for details.

The Business Group maintains a separate “Working” Web site, which includes documents, like information on meetings, index for meeting minutes, and other working documents. There is also a separate wiki for BG members. Finally, if necessary or convenient, Google Documents can also be used; these are collected in a separate Google Drive folder.

(The Working Web site’s content is actually served from a dedicated Github repository.)
