WebView CG October 2024 Meeting Recap

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share a brief recap of our meeting today. It seems the
timing wasn't ideal, and attendance was lower than expected, but I
believe summarizing the progress on caniwebview could be valuable for
everyone. You can find the full notes on GitHub:
<https://github.com/WebView-CG/meetings/blob/main/2024/2024-10-25.md>
Caniwebview Updates
 *  Progress on Data: WKWebView was added to BCD right before TPAC,
    allowing us to compare the major mobile WebViews.
 *  Web Features Data: Web Features data is now available on
    caniwebview. Features show their baseline status and whether
    WebViews affect the baseline.
 *  Compare Page Utility: The compare page
    <https://caniwebview.com/clients/> can be a useful tool for browser
    vendors and developers to compare WebViews with upstream browsers
    and get a closer look at BCD data and web features.
 *  Inconsistent Data: We can now use the compare table to identify and
    flag inconsistent data. We could use some help with styling the site
    and diving into the data.
 *  WebViews Impact: The impact of WebViews on the baseline is now
    visible at <https://caniwebview.com/clients/> under the web features
    category.


Task Force
 *  We're forming a task force to start improving things ultimately. Our
    work will start capturing behavioral differences, and eventually
    back it up with surveys, data and explainers.
 *  We are looking for volunteers and plan on scheduling the first
    meeting. Please feel free to reach out via Slack or email.


Next Steps
 *  Let's coordinate on the timing for our next meeting. Feel free to
    suggest your availability.
 *  Continue working on caniwebview, data and the task force

Thanks everyone for your support and interest in improving WebViews
together.
Best,
Niklas
