... the @W3CAB has been building a full proposal on how to adopt the W3C Recommendation track to allow this kind of iteration for our standards: w3.org/wiki/Process2020
A major focus on the next revision of the process is to enable more continuous evolution of #W3CStandards. Because the stage-based approach to standardization is sometimes a hindrance to groups that need fast iteration for their work, ...
The process is maintained by our Advisory Board @w3CAB (yes, they too are on Twitter!) with input from the public via the W3C Process Community Group w3.org/community/w3process/
Congrats to @chaals for shepherding that latest set of updates!
As every year, @w3c is evaluating how the formal process it uses to standardize specifications should evolve to match the needs from the #Web Platform and its communities.
Back in 2018, concerns were raised with regard to how the precision in the clock could help mount #Spectre and #Meltdown attacks - the clock resolution was lowered to 5 microseconds to reduce the risks w3.org/TR/hr-time-2/#clock-r…
Indeed, the #Spectre and #Meltdown attacks revealed early January can be exploited in browsers - since these attacks rely on precise timing, reducing the precision of performance.now() was quickly identified as a way to reduce the risks of exploitation
In addition to the offline capabilities, #ServiceWorkers handle notifications, perform heavy calculations on a separate thread, and more. It is a powerful tool for Web #developers!
A service worker is a script that your browser runs in the
background. Acting as a virtual proxy between the #browser and the #network, it caches the assets of a #website and make them available when the user’s device is offline.
