AC/Priorities

This article is a stub. You can help the W3C wiki by expanding it.

This page is for Advisory Committee (AC) representatives to directly work with each other on priority projects for improving W3C.

Inspired by the long-running successes from the AB’s Priority Projects, this page is here for AC representatives to propose or join priority projects that they wish to (co-)lead or collaborate on.

Created by: Tantek and interested in collaborating with any AC Representative who wants to work together to help the AC work on specific projects together. Looking for AC collaborators to help maintain this page.

Priority Projects

• This is a list of priority projects proposed by AC members. If you want to add one, come up with a short name, add a subsection accordingly, and copy & paste & fill out the template list from the "Example Project" below.

Independent Interoperable Implementations

• Lead: Tantek, …
  • Open to up to two more AC member co-leads (three max total to stay more efficient)
• Participants: ...
  • looking for: specification editors, test suite authors, and implementers of specifications who both have an interest in these topics overall (beyond particular specifications) and the time to actively work on this
• Summary: transition the AB’s 2024-2025 Defining 3Is project to an AC driven project and work towards enough rough consensus on the individual Independent Interoperable Implementations wiki pages to publish something: perhaps a NOTE, possibly improve the Process (by filing & driving public Process-CG issues), possibly document a separate Guide to Best Practices for Independent Interoperable Implementations, or some combination thereof.

Example Project

Re-using a pattern the AB’s Priority Projects pages:

• Lead: YOURNAME (and if open to or desiring a co-lead or two?)
• Participants: Other folks who have indicated an interest and time to actively work on the project.
• Summary: state a primary objective (how will you know when you've succeeded) for the project
• Goals/Tasks:
  • list items here for specific goals both overall and towards the primary objective
  • list individual tasks being worked on towards the objective
  • if this section grows beyond 2-3 items, create a new wiki page to keep track instead of here in-line

Open Questions

• Should we sort the Priority Projects alphabetically, by most recently proposed, by number of participants, some other factor?

• How should we encourage transitions of priority projects?
  • … to a CG? (for broader community input?)
  • … to the AB? (adopted by one or more elected AB members)
  • … to the TAG? (adopted by one or more elected TAG members)
  • … other destinations?

• How should we (the AC) decide to close a priority project?
  • Is closure by its (co-)leads sufficient or should participants in a priority project be offered a chance to step up to (co-)lead before it is closed?
  • Or should participants be encouraged to propose leading a new priority project on the same topic?
