This week the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) announced its latest agile track, which is designed to enable web developers and businesses to actually play a role in the web standards process, along with the W3C’s large panel of international experts.
W3C Community Groups were created with the realization that innovation comes from both organizations as well as individuals. Individuals and organizations can propose a new group, and with a small amount of peer support, the new group is formed and functional.
