http://www.w3.org/News/2010#entry-8694
The W3C Advisory Committee has re-elected Ashok Malhotra
(Oracle) and Henry Thompson (U. of Edinburgh) to the W3C
Technical Architecture Group (TAG). Continuing TAG participants
are John Kemp (Nokia), Larry Masinter (Adobe), T.V. Raman
(Google). The Director is also expected to appoint three
individuals very soon. The mission of the TAG is to build
consensus around principles of Web architecture and to
interpret and clarify these principles when necessary, to
resolve issues involving general Web architecture brought to
the TAG, and to help coordinate cross-technology architecture
developments inside and outside W3C.

The Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) Education and Outreach
Working Group (EOWG) today published Contacting Organizations
about Inaccessible Websites as part of the WAI-AGE Project.
This new WAI resource guides you through telling organizations
about accessibility barriers on their website. WAI would like
to know how this resource works for you and how we can improve
it. See the blog post: Take a few minutes to encourage web
accessibility. Your voice counts. Learn about Accessibility and

Last Call: XProc: An XML Pipeline Language
05 January 2010 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2010#entry-8690
The XML Processing Model Working Group has published a Last
Call Working Draft of "XProc: An XML Pipeline Language," a
language for describing operations to be performed on XML
documents. A pipeline consists of steps. Like pipelines, steps
take zero or more XML documents as their inputs and produce
zero or more XML documents as their outputs. The inputs of a
step come from the web, from the pipeline document, from the
inputs to the pipeline itself, or from the outputs of other
steps in the pipeline. The outputs from a step are consumed by
other steps, are outputs of the pipeline as a whole, or are
discarded. Comments are welcome through 02 February. Learn more
about the Extensible Markup Language (XML) Activity.

Indexed Database API Draft Published
05 January 2010 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2010#entry-8689
The Web Applications Working Group has published a Working
Draft of "Indexed Database API." User agents need to store
large numbers of objects locally in order to satisfy off-line
data requirements of Web applications. The Web Storage
specification is useful for storing pairs of keys and their
corresponding values. However, it does not provide in-order
retrieval of keys, efficient searching over values, or storage
of duplicate values for a key. The current specification
provides a concrete API to perform advanced key-value data
management that is at the heart of most sophisticated query
processors. It does so by using transactional databases to
store keys and their corresponding values (one or more per
key), and providing a means of traversing keys in a
deterministic order. Learn more about the Rich Web Client
Activity.
