W3C Opens Senegal Office
W3C announces today the launch of the W3C Senegal Office, hosted by
the Ecole Supérieure Polytechnique (ESP), attached to the UCAD
(Université Cheikh Anta Diop), in Dakar, Senegal. Ibrahima Ngom
(ESP) and Alex Corenthin (ISOC Senegal) will jointly manage this new
W3C Office. W3C looks forward to increasing interaction with the
French-speaking community, especially neighboring countries in West
Africa. The opening ceremony will take place 27 May. Read the press
release and learn more about the W3C Offices, which assist W3C with
promotion efforts in local languages, help broaden W3C’s
geographical base, and encourage international participation in W3C
Activities.

Candidate Recommendation Updated: XProc: An XML Pipeline Language
The XML Processing Model Working Group has published an updated
Candidate Recommendation of "XProc: An XML Pipeline Language." This
specification describes the syntax and semantics of a language for
describing operations to be performed on XML documents. The status
section of the document summarizes the list of changes since the
Candidate Recommendation was first published. Learn more about the
Extensible Markup Language (XML) Activity.

Last Call: Widgets 1.0: Packaging and Configuration
The Web Applications Working Group has published the Last Call
Working Draft of "Widgets 1.0: Packaging and Configuration." This
document standardizes a packaging format for a class of software
application known as a widget. Widgets are full-fledged client-side
applications that are authored using Web standards and packaged for
distribution. They are typically downloaded and installed on a
client machine or device where they run as stand-alone applications,
but they can also be embedded into Web pages and run in a Web
browser. Examples range from simple clocks, stock tickers, news
casters, games and weather forecasters, to complex applications that
pull data from multiple sources to be "mashed-up" and presented to a
user in some interesting and useful way. Comments are welcome
through 19 June. Learn more about the Rich Web Client Activity.

Relationship Between Mobile Web and Web Content Accessibility Working
Draft Published
The Mobile Web Best Practices Working Group and the WAI Education
and Outreach Working Group have published an updated Working Draft
of "Relationship between Mobile Web Best Practices (MWBP) and Web
Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)." This draft is complete
and is provided as a last opportunity for public review and comment
before publication as a W3C Working Group Note. See the announcement
email.
The groups encourage people to start by reading Web Content
Accessibility and Mobile Web: Making a Web Site Accessible Both for
People with Disabilities and for Mobile Devices, which shows how
design goals for accessibility and mobile access overlap. A third
document, Shared Web Experiences: Barriers Common to Mobile Device
Users and People with Disabilities, provides examples of barriers
that people (without disabilities) face when interacting with Web
content via mobile devices, and similar barriers for people with
disabilities using desktop computers. Learn more about the Mobile
Web Initiative and the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI).
