Colloquial Web CG summary
Raw
colloquial.txt
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.
The scope of the technologies involved is open because the emphasis on
development is changing from components to frameworks. If CSS and JavaScript
were ruled out, for example, then so would much existing web practice. This
also allows the group to study emergent domains such as the relationship
between privacy and the distribution of web application components across
separate organisations.
