Need some input and you may get quoted ;-) What do you feel are the most important or the most important needs we should retain as we evolve the Web? Choices can be from any area of Web design, dev, UX, #a11y etc. Thank you!

As the web evolves, involve those who use it. The web has a history of making decisions for everyone from an ivory tower. We need to co-create with the full range of users, instead of believing we know best. We don’t. That’s why we have such inaccessible experiences.

How is that different from saying we need to involve drivers in designing cars?

My only retorted that is why would you ever want to put a web browser into a car and expected never to be hacked or malfunction and yet...

I guess my point is that while the web became a success because it was so open that anyone with a text editor could contribute. But maybe that doesn’t hold anymore when it comes to getting it to the next level — Web 3.0 or whatever we call it.

I agree that we need to get back to Semantic Web origins such as ontology-driven applications. But experience has shown that these concepts are not for the common web developer who is used to JSON and Javascript.

Yes I think @w3c has done a good a good job at creating open standards. The issue is that people think that for example RDF or XSLT are some legacy tech from the 90s that simply suck. My Twitter history has dozens of such interactions.

Yes you're correct in my opinion also from my experience just the other night a lot of the Latter-Day web Folk have no idea that the semantic web was the future as envisioned, XML languages are still alive and well and living or that apps could Thrive with declarative languages

Moreover one could be a programmer for the web but not involved in creating a DTD or schema or studying Linguistics which ironically looks a lot like algebra when sentences are broken up and defined.
