This is for Everyone: the Tweet Heard Around the World
30 July 2012 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9518
[] Tim Berners-Lee, London native, inventor of the World Wide
Web and Founder and Director of the W3C was celebrated on stage
during the 2012 London Olympics Opening Ceremony on July 27
where he live tweeted 'This is for everyone.' What better venue
than the Olympic Games, which inspire young people and bring
competitors together, to recognize Berners-Lee's role in
history and his continued advocacy that the Web, built on open
standards, remains available to everyone, everywhere.
Congratulations to Sir Tim! Learn more about Tim Berners-Lee
and about W3C.

MBUI - Task Models Draft Published
02 August 2012 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9528
The Model-Based User Interfaces Working Group has published the
First Public Working Draft of "MBUI - Task Models." Task
models are useful when designing and developing interactive
systems. They describe the logical activities that have to be
carried out in order to reach the user’s goals. This document
covers the specification of Task Models, with a meta-model
expressed in UML, and an XML Schema that can be used as the
basis for interchange of Task Models between different user
interface development tools. Learn more about the Ubiquitous
Web Applications Activity.

Web Audio API Draft Published
02 August 2012 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2012#entry-9526
The Audio Working Group has published a Working Draft of "Web
Audio API." This specification describes a high-level
JavaScript API for processing and synthesizing audio in web
applications. The primary paradigm is of an audio routing
graph, where a number of AudioNode objects are connected
together to define the overall audio rendering. The actual
processing will primarily take place in the underlying
implementation (typically optimized Assembly / C / C++ code),
but direct JavaScript processing and synthesis is also
supported. This API is designed to be used in conjunction with
other APIs and elements on the web platform, notably:
XMLHttpRequest (using the responseType and response
attributes). For games and interactive applications, it is
anticipated to be used with the canvas 2D and WebGL 3D graphics
APIs. Learn more about the Rich Web Client Activity.

The MultilingualWeb-LT Working Group has published a Working

and NIF are provided. Learn more about the Internationalization
Activity.
