This specification defines an API to manage usage and availability of local storage resources, and defines a means by which a user agent (UA) may grant Web applications permission to use more local space, temporarily or persistently, via various different storage APIs. <http://www.w3.org/2008/webapps/> <http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/WD-quota-api-20150409/> The Group also published a Working Draft of "Input Method Editor API." This specification defines an “IME API” that provides Web applications with scripted access to an IME (input-method editor) associated with a hosting user agent. This API is designed to be used in conjunction with DOM events.

SVG is a language based on XML for describing two-dimensional vector and mixed vector/raster graphics. SVG content is stylable, scalable to different display resolutions, and can be viewed stand-alone, mixed with HTML content, or embedded using XML namespaces within other XML languages. SVG also supports dynamic changes; script can be used to create interactive documents, and animations can be performed using declarative animation features or by using script. <http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/WD-SVG2-20150409/> Learn more about the Graphics Activity. <http://www.w3.org/Graphics/> First Public Working Draft: The Permissions API Draft Published 7 April 2015 <http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4563> The Web Application Security Working Group has published a Working Draft of "The Permissions API." The Permissions API allows a web application to be aware of the status of a given permission, to know if it is granted, denied or if the user will be asked whether the permission should be granted. Learn more about the Security Activity. <http://www.w3.org/2011/webappsec/> <http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/WD-permissions-20150407/> <http://www.w3.org/Security/> First Public Working Draft: HTML Accessibility API Mappings (HTML-AAM) 7 April 2015 <http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4553> The Protocols and Formats Working Group and HTML Working Group published a First Public Working Draft of "HTML Accessibility API Mappings 1.0" (HTML-AAM). This specification defines how user agents map HTML markup to platform accessibility application programming interfaces (APIs). Documenting these mappings promotes interoperable exposure of roles, states, properties, and events implemented by accessibility APIs, and helps to ensure that this information appears in a manner consistent with author intent. It provides HTML-specific guidance to define how the HTML user agent must respond to keyboard focus, native HTML features, and role, state, and property attributes provided in web content via WAI-ARIA . It is part of a set of technology-specific modules that provide accessibility API mapping support for features in WAI-ARIA 1.1. <http://www.w3.org/WAI/PF> <http://www.w3.org/html/wg/> <http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/WD-html-aam-1.0-20150407/> <http://www.w3.org/WAI/intro/aria> The mappings defined in this specification were previously published as " HTML to Platform Accessibility APIs Implementation Guide." Since the time that document was created, work on WAI-ARIA 1.1 and HTML 5.1 have led to a larger set of related Accessibility API mappings and the need to express the mappings for various technologies in a consistent manner, so that earlier draft specification will be retired. Learn more about the HTML Activity and the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI). <http://www.w3.org/TR/2013/WD-html-aapi-20131001/> <http://www.w3.org/html/Activity> <http://www.w3.org/WAI/> Call for Review: HTML5 Web Messaging Proposed Recommendation Published 7 April 2015 <http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4551> The Web Applications Working Group has published a Proposed Recommendation of "HTML5 Web Messaging." This specification defines two mechanisms for communicating between browsing contexts in HTML documents. Comments are welcome through 05 May. Learn more about the Rich Web Client Activity. <http://www.w3.org/2008/webapps/> <http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/PR-webmessaging-20150407/> <http://www.w3.org/2006/rwc/> Call for review: Proposal to Relicense Contacts API, Messaging API and Telephony API Specifications 7 April 2015 <http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4560> Today the W3C Advisory Committee Representatives received a Proposal to license the Contacts API, Messaging API and Telephony API Specifications. Pursuant to the W3C Policy on Relicensing Unfinished W3C Specifications, the Director proposes to relicense the Specifications under a choice of license: CC-BY, W3C Software License or BSD 2-clause license. In the event that W3C chooses a default permissive license during or after this relicensing, W3C will also make the Specifications available under such license. Public comments are welcome through 5 May 2015. <https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-review-announce/20 15Apr/0001> <http://www.w3.org/2014/12/relicense> <https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode> <http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Legal/2002/copyright-software-200 21231> <http://opensource.org/licenses/BSD-2-Clause> More news: <http://www.w3.org/blog/news/> Workshops * 2015-04-29 (29 APR) Eighth MultilingualWeb Workshop: Data, content and services for the Multilingual Web <http://www.multilingualweb.eu/documents/2015-riga-workshop /2015-riga-cfp> Riga, Latvia In this workshop we wish to consider a wide spectrum of issues, ranging from blogs and social networking sites, to localization of large corporate or organizational enterprises.
