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.

CSS Image Values and Replaced Content Module Level 3 Draft Published
17 February 2011 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-9018
The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group has published a
Working Draft of "CSS Image Values and Replaced Content Module
Level 3." This CSS Image Values and Replaced Content module
has two parts. First, it defines the syntax for image values in
CSS. image values can be a single URI to an image, a list of
URIs denoting a series of fallbacks, a reference to an element
in the document, or gradients. Second, it defines properties
used to control the interaction of replaced content and the CSS
layout algorithms. These properties can affect the used image
resolution for bitmaps, the replaced object's orientation, and
whether and how to preserve the object's aspect ratio. Learn
more about the Style Activity.

Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.0) Authorized
Translations Now in Six Languages
16 February 2011 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-9017
Today two more Authorized Translations of WCAG 2.0 were
published, bringing the total to six languages. These were
developed through the Policy for Authorized W3C Translations
and they can be used for official purposes. W3C encourages
translation of specifications and resources into all languages;
see W3C Translations. The Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI)
particularly encourages the development of W3C Authorized
Translations of WCAG 2.0 and other technical specifications to
facilitate their adoption and implementation internationally;
see Translating WAI Documents. To find out if WCAG is available
in your language, see the WCAG 2.0 Translations list, which
also lists unofficial translations. Additional perspectives are
in the "WCAG 2.0 in your mother tongue" blog post. Read about
the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI).

W3C Invites Implementations of CSS Backgrounds and Borders Module
Level 3; Updates Text Level 3
15 February 2011 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2011#entry-9016
The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group invites
implementation of the Candidate Recommendation of "CSS
Backgrounds and Borders Module Level 3," which contains the
features of CSS Level 3 relating to borders and backgrounds.
The main extensions compared to CSS Level 2 are borders
consisting of images, boxes with multiple backgrounds, boxes
with rounded corners and boxes with shadows. The Working Group
also updated a Working Draft of "CSS Text Level 3," which
defines properties for text manipulation and specifies their
processing model. It covers line breaking, justification and
alignment, white space handling, text decoration and text
transformation. Learn more about the CSS Test Suite and the W3C
Style Activity.

cfp
Pisa, Italy
Hosted jointly by the Istituto di Informatica e Telematica
and Istituto di Linguistica Computazionale, Consiglio
Nazionale delle Ricerche.
<p>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.</p>
