W3C Extends HTML Working Charter: HTML5 Last Call in May 2011 and
Recommendation in 2014
14 February 2011 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-9015
[] W3C extends today the charter of the HTML Working Group,
reaffirming the commitment for "HTML5" to reach Last Call in
May 2011, and announcing plans to reach Recommendation by 2014.
"Even as innovation continues, advancing HTML5 to
Recommendation provides the entire Web ecosystem with a stable,
tested, interoperable specification," said Jeff Jaffe, W3C CEO.
W3C is developing a comprehensive test suite to help achieve
broad interoperability for the full specification. Stable
specifications are useful targets for interoperability at the
same time that innovation never ceases. Therefore, to fulfill
the W3C HTML Working Group's mission, W3C Director Tim
Berners-Lee encourages the participants to begin discussion of
requirements for future versions of HTML after HTML5 reaches
Last Call. Read more in the press release and learn more about
HTML.

Three WebApps Updates: Web Workers, Web Storage, Server-Side Events
08 February 2011 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-9011
The Web Applications Working Group updated three Working Drafts
today: "Web Workers," "Web Storage," and "Server-side Events"
. The first defines an API that allows Web application authors
to spawn background workers running scripts in parallel to
their main page. This allows for thread-like operation with
message-passing as the coordination mechanism. The second
defines an API for persistent data storage of key-value pair
data in Web clients. The third defines an API for opening an
HTTP connection for receiving push notifications from a server
in the form of DOM events. The API is designed such that it can
be extended to work with other push notification schemes such
as Push SMS. Learn more about the Rich Web Client Activity.

cfp
Pisa, Italy
Hosted jointly by the Istituto di Informatica e Telematica
and Istituto di Linguistica Computazionale, Consiglio
Nazionale delle Ricerche.
Today, the World Wide Web is fundamental to communication
in all walks of life. As the share of English web pages
decreases and that of other languages increases, it is
vitally important to ensure the multilingual success of the
World Wide Web. The MultilingualWeb project is looking at
best practices and standards related to all aspects of
creating, localizing and deploying the Web multilingually.
The project aims to raise the visibility of existing best
practices and standards and identify gaps. The core vehicle
for this is a series of four events which are planned for
the coming two years. Following the highly successful first
event in Madrid, this second workshop will be held in Pisa,
Italy.
