Happy #GAAD from Austin, TX! We're celebrating Global Accessibility Awareness Day 2018 by hosting @LFLegal, @becka11y, and the @w3c_wai Education & Outreach Working Group (#EOWG) here at our offices today!

If you care about web-based exploitation of Spectre and the problem of cross-origin information leaks in general, you may want to read this small doc: arturjanc.com/cross-origin-i… (co-written with the sublimely eloquent @mikewest)
Easy captioning or subtitling #HTML5 video content is made possible by #WebVTT, using the <track> element, also helpful to deliver chapters and text video descriptions.
An update of the Pointer events #WebStandard, Pointer Events Level 2 addresses the need of diverse forms of pointing input devices (stylus/touchscreen/pen/etc.), in addition to the mouse. w3.org/TR/2018/CR-pointereve…#timetoimplement
Some of the new success criteria in #WCAG21 have a specific resonance in mobile contexts. Learn about Pointer Gestures, Target Size and Orientation in the W3C Mobile roadmap: w3.org/2018/04/web-roadmaps/…@w3c_wai#a11y
Did you know that you can listen to touch and wheel events without affecting scrolling performance ? Check out the description of the "passive" event listener option: w3.org/2018/04/web-roadmaps/…#WebPerf
#MediaQueries let #WebDevs adjust the layout of a component relative to the viewport size. Feels too restrictive for fully #ResponsiveLayout? Element Queries proposes a mechanism to adjust the layout relative to the size of a containing element instead: w3.org/2018/04/web-roadmaps/…
Today is the day where a new @w3c process comes into action - the well-titled “Feb 1 2018 Process Document” w3.org/2018/Process-20180201…
This document sets the rules and expectations around how W3C develops its standards and interacts with its stakeholders.
The Advisory Board also manages the Process Document's evolution where the organizational structure of W3C, its activities, responsibilities and functions are described: w3.org/2018/Process-20180201…
