On the browser side, the picture is already pretty good for such a young API: it's available in @googlechrome, @MSEdgeDev , @samsunginternet , @opera and in preview in @webkit safari and @firefox

Its most well-known and deployed API is the Payment Request API, which streamlines the Web checkout process: browsers take charge of collecting and managing users' payment information, bringing less typing and more consistency in that experience w3.org/TR/payment-request/

The @w3payments Working Group released yesterday its roadmap of work for 2018 lists.w3.org/Archives/Public… . This is the group developing new features to facilitate and improve payments in Web browsers.

The PAB just got started, Mozilla has been at this for 12 years - the discussion on the URL of the site (which was actually brought up at our face-to-face meeting) was evaluated as not time critical for the moment…
The MDN Product Advisory Board has representatives from @w3c, @mozilla, @googledevs, @MSEdgeDev and @samsunginternet precisely to make it clear this is no longer a single-vendor project (even though @mozilla is clearly putting a lot more resources in it atm)

The group is actively looking for feedback on this new approach, which is meant to help managing multiple sensors simulatenously, bring a stronger privacy and security story for them and enable high-performance use cases and sensor fusion

The Device and Sensors Working Group is close to bringing it to Candidate Recommendation - the API is available as an origin trial in Chrome nitter.vloup.ch/anssik/status/93… and there is a polyfill for turning the existing into the new model APIs
.@kennethrohde's amazing Generic Sensor API polyfills github.com/kenchris/sensor-p… have been further improved! Demo: intel.github.io/generic-sens… See also instructions on how to enable the native implementation in Chrome: github.com/kenchris/sensor-p…

What would you like to see from @MozDevNet? What opportunities do you think @w3c & @w3cdevs can bring to and get from this collaboration?

And in the longer term, we hope MDN can serve as a conduit to getting more input and contributions from developers to our specs - ultimately for better specs and a better Web.
We are just getting started, but this meeting was a great start!

There are also low hanging fruits in ensuring data about @w3c specs is kept uptodate e.g. via the github.com/w3c/w3c-api - early work toward that at github.com/mdn/kumascript/pu…

We are also looking at bringing more visibility to existing best practices from @w3c_wai and @webi18n from MDN github.com/mdn/pab/issues/1

Hopefully we can facilitate the adoption of these explainers as seed to future MDN content.
Some groups have also developed dev-focused material that might usefully migrate to MDN github.com/w3c/payment-reque…

For instance, the @w3ctag has been pushing @w3c groups developing specs to develop at the same time explainer docs, which puts features in the context of their expected usage by developers docs.google.com/document/d/1…

A particular @w3cdevs objective in the MDN PAB is to bring the standardization and documentation workflows closer together

Congrats to @dustyweb @Tsyesika @erincandescent @rhiaro @evanpro and @SocialWebWG for the newly published @w3c #WebStandard "ActivityPub": w3.org/TR/activitypub/ #timetoadopt
ActivityPub is now a W3C Recommendation, after epic work by @dustyweb. Used by Mastodon and other systems to create a decentralized social web. Congrats to the now completed Social Web WG. w3.org/TR/activitypub/
