Yeah, this is not the list for such discussions. As you probably know, the perfect outlet for scientific/peer-reviewed research for web-related stuff is the WWW conference (http://www2015.wwwconference.org/). Have you tried publishing your ideas and research there? > In addition to code samples, a number of scientists are interested > in seeing storyboards and videos of new, innovative, educational > software features and I would hope we could find some ways to consider > facilitating such features as use cases for various Web technologies > discussed by many W3C groups. That would be great and really helpful. However, they need to be in the right format for this community (i.e., in a way that is digestible to the non-scientists who work on Web standards) - otherwise, you risk, despite your good intentions and best efforts, getting an adverse reaction from the W3C community - as unfortunately happened on this list. When you want to propose new things for the Web - consider these examples, which have helped, or are helping, guide standardization at the W3C: * http://usecases.responsiveimages.org/ * http://w3c-webmob.github.io/wake-lock-use-cases/ * http://www.w3.org/TR/netinfo-usecases/ A different, yet extremely successful approach (using an explainer): * https://github.com/slightlyoff/ServiceWorker/blob/master/explainer.md I've got some rough notes on how one can help shape a standard (which we, at Mozilla, hope to turn into a more coherent article... it may be of help): * https://etherpad.mozilla.org/futurestandards You might also want to watch, Domenic Denicola's talk "How to win friends and influence standards bodies": * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hneN6aW-d9w All the best!
