Call for Review: HTML5 Proposed Recommendation Published
16 September 2014 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4074
The HTML Working Group has published a Proposed Recommendation
of "HTML5." This specification defines the 5th major revision
of the core language of the World Wide Web: the Hypertext
Markup Language (HTML). In this version, new features are
introduced to help Web application authors, new elements are
introduced based on research into prevailing authoring
practices, and special attention has been given to defining
clear conformance criteria for user agents in an effort to
improve interoperability. Comments are welcome through 14
October. Learn more about the HTML Activity.

Upcoming Workshop: Privacy and User–Centric Controls
22 September 2014 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4089
Today the W3C announced a Workshop on Privacy and User–Centric
Controls, to investigate strategies toward better privacy
protection on the Web, especially for mobile devices.
https://www.w3.org/2014/privacyws/
The Workshop focus will be on users: user experience, user
behavior and how we can offer controls that provide the
necessary transparency of privacy-affecting interactions. We
will also discuss how developers can meet users’ privacy needs
on the Web, including what APIs are necessary for user privacy.
Sample Workshop topics include (but are not limited to):
* Improving the UI for stateful services, overview of states
* Defaults for expiration of stateful situations
* How to convey state information to the User
* How to deal with logging and how to provide interfaces for
logged data
* Requirements for private browsing on mobile
* A privacy ontology for mobile apps and their use of
personal data
* The value of privacy in paradigms for mobile UI
* Selective release of personal information to apps
* Controlling the geo-location interfaces, including UI
challenges
* Enforcing data expiry
W3C membership is not required to participate. There is no cost
to participate and the event is open to all. All participants
are required to submit a position paper or statement of
interest by 10 October 2014. Learn more how to participate.

W3C Invites Implementations of Encoding
16 September 2014 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4072
The Internationalization Working Group invites implementation
of the Candidate Recommendation of "Encoding." The utf-8
encoding is the most appropriate encoding for interchange of
Unicode, the universal coded character set. Therefore for new
protocols and formats, as well as existing formats deployed in
new contexts, this specification requires (and defines) the
utf-8 encoding. The other (legacy) encodings have been defined
to some extent in the past. However, user agents have not
always implemented them in the same way, have not always used
the same labels, and often differ in dealing with undefined and
former proprietary areas of encodings. This specification
addresses those gaps so that new user agents do not have to
reverse engineer encoding implementations and existing user
agents can converge. Learn more about the Internationalization
Activity.

Workshop on Privacy and User–Centric Controls
https://www.w3.org/2014/privacyws/
Berlin, Germany
Hosted by Deutsche Telekom
Participants will investigate strategies toward better
privacy protection on the Web that are effective and lead
to benefits in the near term. This includes discussing
basic privacy UI features that will, on the long run,
create a user experience that loops with user expectations.
We expect certain controls and dashboards in a car. Perhaps
we can create a similar clarity for the privacy dashboard
of our devices.
The Workshop focus will be on users: user experience, user
behavior and how we can offer controls that provide the
necessary transparency of privacy-affecting interactions.
We will also discuss how developers can meet users' privacy
needs on the Web, including what APIs are necessary for
user privacy.
