W3C Turns 20

   1 October 2014 | Archive

   http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4110

   [] This month W3C celebrates its 20th anniversary. In a 1994
   press release about the launch of W3C, Director Tim Berners-Lee
   explained, “The decision to form the consortium came at the
   urging of many firms investing increasing resources into the
   Web, whether in creation of software products, selling
   information, or for sharing information within their own
   companies, with business partners and the public at large.”
   Twenty years on, the W3C community is actively building an Open
   Web Platform for application development that has the
   unprecedented potential to enable developers to build
   sophisticated interactive experiences that are available on any
   device. Pursuing a vision of one Web available to all, 400
   Members, thousands of individuals in Working and Interest
   Groups, nearly 4500 people in Community and Business Groups,
   and many more subscribed to public mailing lists power today’s
   W3C community. W3C thanks all of you for 20 years of creating,
   implementing, and supporting open standards for the Web.

Last Call: XSL Transformations (XSLT) Version 3.0

   2 October 2014 | Archive

   http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4120

   The XSLT Working Group has published a Last Call Working Draft
   of "XSL Transformations (XSLT) Version 3.0." This
   specification defines the syntax and semantics of XSLT 3.0, a
   language for transforming XML documents into other XML
   documents. A transformation in the XSLT language is expressed
   in the form of a stylesheet. A stylesheet is made up of one or
   more well-formed XML documents conforming to the Namespaces in
   XML Recommendation. Comments are welcome through 26 November.
   Learn more about the Extensible Markup Language (XML) Activity.

Requirements for Latin Text Layout and Pagination Draft Published

   30 September 2014 | Archive

   http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4106

   The Digital Publishing Interest Group has published a Working
   Draft of "Requirements for Latin Text Layout and Pagination."
   This document describes requirements for pagination and layout
   of books in latin languages, based on the tradition of print
   book design and composition. It is hoped that these principles
   can inform the pagination of digital content as well, and serve
   as a reference for the CSS Working Group and other interested
   parties. This work was inspired by the Requirements for
   Japanese Text Layout. Learn more about the Digital Publishing
   Activity.

Seeking Wide Review: TTML Text and Image Profiles for Internet Media
Subtitles and Captions 1.0

   30 September 2014 | Archive

   http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4104

   The Timed Text Working Group has published a Working Draft of
   "TTML Text and Image Profiles for Internet Media Subtitles and
   Captions 1.0." This document specifies two profiles of Timed
   Text Markup Language 1: a text-only profile and an image-only
   profile. These profiles are intended to be used across subtitle
   and caption delivery applications worldwide, thereby
   simplifying interoperability, consistent rendering and
   conversion to other subtitling and captioning formats. The text
   profile is a superset of TTML Simple Delivery Profile for
   Closed Captions (US). The review period ends on 27 October
   2014. Learn more about the Video in the Web Activity.

Workshops

     * 2014-11-20 (20 NOV) – 2014-11-21 (21 NOV)
       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.
