Closing Webizen task force and mailing list

Dear members for the Webizen task force,

Last week during TPAC 2015, we unveiled W3C Developers avenue, a one-stop  
page featuring the offerings and tools W3C has for Web developers, and  
introduced Friends, a gratitude program.

This is the evolution of the Webizen proposal [1][2], that we developed as  
part of W3C Headlights 2014 exercise, to increase developer representation  
within W3C for a modest fee.

We have dropped the fee, and instead introduced a gratitude program,  
Friends. We've focused on how W3C gives Web developers a greater voice,  
and which services they value in particular. We are doing this to  
encourage greater developer engagement with W3C due to their increased  
importance leveraging the Open Web Platform.

You may read more in Jeff Jaffe's blog post [3].

I hope you will help spread the good word! You are welcome to follow the  
Twitter feed [4].

This task force and group are now closed.

Maintenance of W3C Developers and Friends is going to be done within the  
W3C Communications team.
Therefore, I suggest comments and suggestions be sent to  
<site-comments@w3.org>, our public list for site-related comments.

Warm regards,
Coralie Mercier, Head of W3C Marketing & Communications
