W3C Announces All-out Spec Template Redesign Collaboration

   8 February 2018
   <https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/6823>

   W3C today announced a collaboration with Jefferson University User Experience and Interaction Design program, which has established a class and a small working group of student designers to re-design the W3C’s specification template, aiming to make the standards for the web easier to use. The scope, requirements and audiences considerations are listed in the SpecProd/Restyle wiki.

   The students are asking for your guidance, criticism and participation; and will be posting updates, sharing explorations and revisions, and requesting feedback via the Jefferson + W3C Collaboration blog. Everyone who uses or produces W3C specifications is invited to follow along and contribute. This will be a semester-long project for the students, with the goal of producing a prototype for May 2018. (Implementation and deployment plans will follow.)

First Public Working Draft: CSS Grid Layout Module Level 2

   6 February 2018
   <https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/6818>

   The CSS Working Group has published a First Public Working Draft of "CSS Grid Layout Module Level 2." This CSS module defines a two-dimensional grid-based layout system, optimized for user interface design. In the grid layout model, the children of a grid container can be positioned into arbitrary slots in a predefined flexible or fixed-size layout grid. Level 2 expands Grid by adding “subgrid” capabilities for nested grids to participate in the sizing of their parent grids; and aspect-ratio–controlled gutters.

   "CSS" is a language for describing the rendering of structured documents (such as HTML and XML) on screen, on paper, in speech, etc.
