A draft of ‘W3C Guidance on Applying WCAG 2.2 to Mobile’ is now available!
We’d really love your comments on the document in GitHub- we want to make sure these guidelines are clear for *everyone* who works on building mobile applications.

#iStatMenu で有名な #bjango の #Pinwheel というアプリ良さそう。

カラートークンみたいなものを生成・管理することができるんだけど、色の濃淡をイージングパスみたいなグラフィカルな UI で作成できて、コントラストのアクセシビリティチェックもできる(これができる単体アプリ探してた)
あと、 #W3C のコミュニティーグループがドラフトを検討してるデザイントークンのオープンなフォーマット #DesignTokensJSON のインポート・エクスポートにも対応してる。
さっそく試用中
In case you're lost, here is the map.

The #W3C has a WAI effort, which really stands for "Web Accessibility Initiative", but I always read it as "Working As Intended".

Other than that.. I started calling current AS/AP fedi the "as soon as possible" fediverse, where necessarily early app implementations served as the de-facto reference implementations for the #W3C #ActivityStreams and #ActivityPub open standards.
At serious cost: Ever increasing #ProtocolDecay and subsequent #WhackaMoleAdoption i.e. retaining app-by-app interop pipes against moving release targets.
When is Video domain getting standardized? That's my question.
Super excited to see (after years of my involvement and maybe decade of @sundress’s along with MANY other passionate and patient individuals) the web getting a little more accessible: https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/pull/39742
What is the status of Bluesky's stated goal of moving ATProto over to the IETF or W3C to govern? I haven't seen news about this.
It does not matter so much if it is #SOLID or #ActivityPub or both or any.
But the Vision matters most in these dark times
„The Vision of a new World“ by @timbl
„That said, there is clearly a massive revolution taking place, and a huge amount of value being created. That value is primarily for individuals who are have obstacles of today;s world they may have taken for granted being removed, and new power to granted. But then immediately individuals use that power to make and work in communities oof all scales, from pairs through groups to nation-sized movements.“
With any luck, we now have weekly activity reports from Github to the public-swicg mailing list, as to keep everyone in the loop on the activity on ActivityPub and ActivityStreams:

There's some sort of delay happening with the test runs of this email, but hopefully they'll show up soon. This should help increase visibility into what's happening.
"The only #Neutrality that #Aaron supported was #NetNeutrality, prioritizing those who use the Internet over those that build & serve it, a priority of constituencies strongly aligned with the #W3C's official #WebEthicalPrinciples."

Want to shape the future of the web?
I’m launching a Q&A series to help individuals and organizations understand, navigate, and contribute to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
What do you want to know about W3C participation?
So excited to continue participating in the W3C—shaping the future of the web through collaboration and advocacy, especially now I’m also an invited expert to the Privacy Working Group. But this work requires resources, and I need your support to continue!
Donate to my W3C Participation Project to directly support efforts to ensure web standards work for everyone.

For the first time in several years I've updated the XTXT project. Hopefully more will follow sometime soon.

XTXT is a simple yet powerful format that addresses many challenges in modern data representation. Its ability to separate content, metadata, and structure into independent streams makes it a strong candidate for diverse applications, from hypertext systems to programming tools and cloud workflows.
