Hi all, There have been two quick changes to the website this morning. The first was a result of being contacted by the W3C communications team regarding the use of the word 'standard' on the web-payments.org website. Since this group is currently not a Working Group, they were uneasy with the use of the word because it seemed to imply backing by W3C membership, which we don't have yet (but may have after the workshop(s) this year). To be clear, nothing has changed with what we're working on here... just the messaging to the public at large. The expectation is that the technologies we work on here will be standards eventually, but calling them that before there is a WG assigned is premature as far as W3C is concerned. The discussion was friendly, and we're going to continue talking about the language and messaging around the work we're doing here. The word 'standards' has been replaced with 'technologies' for the time being, until something better is chosen. So if anyone has a better idea about what else we could use in its place, please speak up. The second change is that we have a new logo for the group, which you'll see at the top-left of the website here: https://web-payments.org/ The SVG of the logo can be found here: https://web-payments.org/images/logo.svg Feel free to submit different logos if you don't like it. We didn't have one, so I just put one together really quickly. -- manu -- Manu Sporny (skype: msporny, twitter: manusporny, G+: +Manu Sporny) Founder/CEO - Digital Bazaar, Inc. blog: The Worlds First Web Payments Workshop http://www.w3.org/2013/10/payments/
