What happens during a TAG review?

  • One TAG member will own the issue
  • We will likely invite someone to a TAG call or to join us at a f2f
  • You will get live feedback from us in the github issue
  • If appropriate we will issue a more formal feedback document

Raise awareness of emerging web technologies.

Be visible: this is your web.

Get direct feedback from developers.

Help to prioritize.

 

 

 

 

Diversity

The TAG has a diversity problem

The TAG should reflect the web technical community

We can best address this issue by nominating more diverse candidates

Please consider this when putting forward candidates for our upcoming elections
