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.

Not for? The web is for everyone. Declarative language is make it more simple to understand where they freak out is the Cascade or they're lazy or the worst part no educational standard and no education at all usually

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

I’ve given up on trying to convince people. I’d rather have our software do that. That is the goal with LinkedDataHub.

My approach would be to build features that are simply impossible without hypermedia, rather than educating about the technology. Education is important of course, but hard to incentivize without an end goal. Features like decentralized editing, cross-app resource cloning etc.

I had a devil's advocate comment to people about this the other night regarding how we used to and still do try to educate clients and stakeholders about usability and accessibility and clearly we have failed at inclusion of these things pun intended. :-)
