W3C Developer Relations Community Group Proposed

The W3C Developer Relations Community Group has been proposed:

--------------------------------------------------

Developers and designers form an important audience for W3C standards,
but the standards process itself is not an ideal way to engage with
them. W3C has made strides in terms of developer relations in recent
years, through W3Conf, Web Education XG and CG, easy access to W3C
through community groups, more documentation, and online training. More
can be done to reach more people and better reflect their interests in
W3C.


Initial ideas:


* Create a developer relations activity or domain, to coordinate and
explore different ways to directly engage with developers and designers,
to gain early feedback on our specifications.
* Make W3C a home for more useful documentation, demos, etc.
* Support developer advocacy, in which ideas, use cases, and
requirements for features or specification fixes are collected in detail
from developers and designers, and presented to the appropriate W3C
Groups.
* Liaise with Members\\\' developer relations departments on projects of
mutual benefit.


--------------------------------------------------

You are invited to support the creation of this group:

Once the group has a total of five supporters, W3C launch the group
and people can join to begin work.

In order to join the group, you will need a W3C account. To request one:

If you believe that there is an issue with this group that requires
the attention of the W3C staff, please send us email on
site-comments@w3.org.

Thank you,
W3C Community Development Team
