WebDX Community Group

The mission of the Web Developer Experience (WebDX) Community Group is to facilitate coordinated approaches to improve the overall experience of developing for the Web platform when such coordination provides unique opportunities for these improvements. Coordinated work includes research on developer needs to inform improvements in Web platform developers experience, and explorations of Web platform features adoptability. See the group's charter.

Chairs, when logged in, may publish draft and final reports. Please see report requirements.

Workstreams

As described in its charter, work in the WebDX Community Group is currently divided into two workstreams:

  1. The research workstream focuses on shared research to make available quantitative and qualitative data to all aspects of the web platform feature life cycle. This includes discussions on surveys that e.g. may run as MDN short surveys. Efforts are being tracked through issues in the web-platform-dx/developer-research repository.
  2. The feature set workstream explores the set of interoperable features of the web platform. This includes discussions on feature grouping, naming, and implementation status across browsers, published in the web-features NPM package. See the web-platform-dx/feature-set repository for code and open discussions.

Meetings

The WebDX Community Group currently meets every other week on Thursdays at 4PM UTC (3PM UTC when US and Europe switch to daylight saving time). See W3C WebDX CG General Meeting entries in the group’s calendar for details. Meeting calls are open to WebDX Community Group participants. You may join the WebDX Community Group from the group’s home page.

This is a community initiative. This group was originally proposed on 2022-10-19 by Dominique Hazaël-Massieux. The following people supported its creation: Dominique Hazaël-Massieux, Brian Kardell, François Daoust, Marie-Claire Forgue, Robert Nyman. W3C’s hosting of this group does not imply endorsement of the activities.

The group must now choose a chair. Read more about how to get started in a new group and good practice for running a group.

We invite you to share news of this new group in social media and other channels.
