Seeing how everyone's so vocal about the BBC recently, I thought it was worth turning our attention to the W3C (yeah it wasn't as slick a transition as it should have been)
Mark Pilgrim outlines the friction which is building up between developers in the field and the tall towers of the W3C? http://diveintomark.org/archives/2006/08/23/overton-window In recent weeks I’ve noticed a burst of chatter about certain W3C standards, the working groups that define them, and the W3C itself. I have followed (and occasionally participated in) web standards discussions for several years, and I’ve been trying put this recent flurry of activity in context. I believe it can best be explained in terms of the Overton window. ---- Someone on the list already suggested Backstage should be more involved in the W3C standard process. And I agree...
