Colloquial Web CG summaries

colloquial-summaries.txt

Submission:

The Colloquial Web group evaluates existing practices amongst core web
technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It aims to provide users and
vendors with clear guidelines for deployment and innovation for web
applications. Example problem domains include continued use of deprecated
constructs, the rise in external services for hosting solutions such as Google
Web Fonts or MathJax, and comparing attitudes to RDFa and microdata.

The group will not produce languages, but may for example create profiles of
weighted technique matrices. In other words, more broadly speaking the group
has a bias towards empirical and descriptivist methods, but is not constrained
to these approaches.

Revision:

The Colloquial Web group evaluates existing practices amongst core web
technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It aims to give users and
vendors clear reports on deployment and innovation for web applications.
Example problem domains include continued use of deprecated constructs, the
rise in external services for hosting solutions such as Google Web Fonts or
MathJax, and comparing attitudes to RDFa and Microdata.

The group researches the relationship between emerging social practices as
regards existing technologies and their standards. A central research goal is
to study and contribute to changing perceptions of conformance. Though broadly
speaking the group has a bias towards empirical and descriptivist methods, it
is not constrained to these approaches. It will not for example produce
languages, but may create profiles of weighted technique matrices.
