2024 H1 Projects #197
Description
OWD H1 projects
This is a tracking issue for the projects the OWD team wants to focus on in the first half (H1) of 2024. It was approved in OWD's Steering Committee on February 7.
BCD
This workstream is about improving browser compat data, so that web developers and other tools and initiatives can rely on BCD as the best source of compat information. This work is funded by the Sovereign Tech Fund. Thank you!
Leads: Florian, Vinyl, Jean-Yves
- Automatically update BCD when browsers release new versions (and include runs on mobile browsers)
- Group web platform features (and provide tools to ease grouping)
- Increase the coverage of the mdn-bcd-collector to 90%
Content for interoperable and widely available features
This workstream looks at various data points (interop initiatives, baseline data, and BCD) to write and improve docs for web platform features that can be used widely across engines.
Leads: Estelle, Jean-Yves, Will
- Interop 2021 & 2022 features
- Interop 2023 features
- Interop 2024 features
- Documenting features in all 3 engines
- Documentation for web platform features becoming widely available in 2024
Content to Secure the Web Forward
This workstream is about writing new documentation, especially guides, tutorials and how-tos about web security and to update reference docs to talk about security matters. See the workshop report https://www.w3.org/2023/03/secure-the-web-forward/report.html for our 2023 research about this topic.
Leads: Will, Florian
- Web Security docs for MDN
- Consistently document Web platform security requirements in MDN reference docs
Research workstream
This workstream is about researching and preparing future OWD projects.
- WebView docs (Florian joined the W3C WebView CG and will figure out how we can help in the future with docs and compat data)
- Help collecting accessibility support data (Florian to investigate more)
- Doc structures for WebIDL concepts (Will to do parts of this by proposing documentation guidelines and possibly tools to help)
