  •  [비공개] An End to Aging IE Installs

    2011-12-16 05:33 am
    Today is a momentous day. After spending years of griping about IE6’s staying power and lamenting Microsoft’s earlier decision to advocate against upgrading to IE7 (a decision they didn’t stick with, thankfully), Microsoft has turned a new leaf today, announcing that they will be pushing updates to IE to anyone who takes part in their Windows Update service. What does this mean? Well, it m..

  •  [비공개] Beyond the Blue Beanie?

    2011-12-01 12:53 am
    You put on your blue beanie every year. But you can make a difference throughout the year. For several years, web workers passionate about web standards have donned blue beanies for one day to bring attention to the importance of using web standards, keeping the web open, and continually moving it forward. We dutifully change our avatars on social media sites and the pictures on our web sites fo..

  •  [비공개] The Sherpas are Here

    2011-03-14 01:49 am
    Today, I am very proud to announce the launch of our newest endeavor: Web Standard Sherpa. This project has been the better part of a year in the making and we’re really excited to see it finally launch. Web Standards Sherpa came about because we wanted to create a repository of best practices information while, at the same time, providing mentorship opportunities for practicing web professio..

  •  [비공개] HTML5? Check. Accessible HTML5? Um…

    2011-02-02 06:22 am
    In a recent blog post, Steve Faulkner of the Paciello Group began to examine how HTML5, which is supposed to help improve the accessibility of web sites and applications, is being exposed to assistive technologies. The current state of things, as documented on HTML5Accessibility.com, leaves a considerable amount to be desired. The current accessibility support implemented in browsers lags behin..

    2011-01-29 05:32 am
    After receiving a wave of negative feedback concerning the HTML5 logo, the W3C have made steps towards righting things. If you read the HTML5 logo FAQ, you’ll see that they’ve made some significant changes, including adding this: Is W3C saying that CSS3 is part of the HTML5 specification? No. However, many HTML5 Web sites and applications do take advantage of CSS3 for styling and presentati..

    2011-01-19 05:50 am
    Today brings to us the news that the W3C have unveiled a logo for HTML5. Does an open technology need a logo? Perhaps not, but many see it as a good idea, including myself. I think it is a great idea to create a rallying flag/focus point for people to use to show their support of HTML5, and to help increase awareness and propagation of this important new technology, thereby aiding the evolution..

  •  [비공개] Small Business Update

    2010-08-06 06:01 am
    Back in February, I announced that one of WaSP’s new efforts was going to be in the direction of outreach to small businesses. Since that time, things have looked pretty quiet from the outside, but the Small Business Outreach Committee has actually been quite busy gathering materials and putting together our first document which aims to help small business owners evaluate the competencies of t..

  •  [비공개] IE9 looks really promising

    2010-06-28 09:06 pm
    When the IE team announced their work on IE9 earlier this year, they promised three major improvements: HTML5 CSS3 speed Now three “developer previews” in, by all accounts they’re living up to that promise: HTML5 support is increasing rapidly (including support for canvas; as PPK just confirmed, their CSS3 support is nearly complete; and several benchmark tests put them right up there wi..

  •  [비공개] InterACT With Web Standards Book Released

    2010-06-09 05:00 pm
    InterACT with Web Standards isn’t a paper copy (or ebook copy) of the online curriculum in textbook format but rather it takes the same motivations and wisdom that goes into the online material and creates a new tool for those trying to learn or teach the profession of building web sites in an educational setting or to the those learning in their own. From my seat on the sidelines of the book ..

    2010-03-18 09:10 am
    It was just one year ago that The WaSP released its open curriculum project InterACT designed to help educators roll web standards and industry best practices into their courses. InterACT debuted at SxSWi 2009 with eleven courses created by a host of veteran educators and industry pros. Today, six more essential courses (that’s seventeen courses in total now if you’re counting) join our livi..

  •  [비공개] A New Direction and a New Project

    2010-02-03 02:08 am
    A lot of you are probably wondering where the WaSP of the late ’90s or even the early ’00s has gone. Where are the actions? Where is the advocacy? Who should we be mad at today? The truth is that this organization is evolving. For the last two years, a large amount of our focus has been placed on education, realized in our creation of the InterAct curriculum framework and the birth of the Op..

  •  [비공개] France and Germany call for the end of IE6

    2010-01-21 12:29 am
    As you may have heard, the “Operation Aurora” cyber attack that occurred in December has prompted the formal warnings from both the French and German governments about the use of IE6 (and 7 and 8, for that matter) because of its security vulnerabilities. This leads me to two questions: Will these warnings have an impact on the use of IE6 in France and Germany? What about the rest of the wor..

    2009-11-25 01:13 am
    Monday, November 30, 2009 is the 3rd annual Blue Beanie Day. Started by Doug Vos, Blue Beanie Day is a way to show support for web standards and accessibility. Excerpt from the 3rd Annual Blue Beanie Day Event Page: It’s easy to show your support for web design done right. Beg, borrow, or buy a Blue Beanie (or Blue Toque in Canada) and snap a photo of your mug wearing the blue. (Or get cre..

    2009-06-29 09:49 pm
    The W3C recently announced an exciting new incubator group – The Open Web Education Alliance (OWEA) – that is certain to have a significant impact on helping web standards and best practices find their way into classrooms around the world.

    2009-05-13 07:19 pm
    You’ve heard it’s coming in 2012. Or maybe 2022. It’s certainly not ready yet, but some parts are already in browsers now so for the standards-savvy developers, the future is worth investigating today. Ian “Hixie” Hickson, editor of the HTML 5 specification, hopes that the spec will go to Last Call Working Draft in October this year. Accessibility Task Force member, Bruce Lawson, in..
