Great! > To get it accepted, we might look at including Canvas in the pitch, > talk about Open Web Graphics in general. Opera has quite a good history of getting things excepted, but I guess that is party due to having helped organise popular panels like the browser wars and this year's CSS 3 panel. It couldn't harm to include canvas too, though I can't say I know too much of the ins and outs with not being a JavaScripter. I was thinking of having a sVG coming of age type theme, inspired by the SVG Open tag line, but I guess it could be a Open Web graphics in general coming of age session. It might be good anyway to clear up the misconceptions of canvas vs SVG, as in my mind at least they are both good for different use cases and more complimentary. Especially with the canvas in SVG stuff. > We could discuss the differences and use cases, and have demos for > both. > > Regards- > -Doug Schepers > W3C Team Contact, SVG and WebApps WGs David Storey Chief Web Opener / Product Manager, Opera Dragonfly W3C WG: Mobile Web Best Practices / SVG Interest Group Opera Software ASA, Oslo, Norway Mobile: +47 94 22 02 32
