Working together for standards The Web Standards Project


Action

What We’re Doing

The Web Standards Project has formed task forces to address specific issues and technologies related to development and standards. Task Forces are led by WaSP members and involve industry representatives and subject matter experts.

  • The Adobe Task Force (formerly Dreamweaver Task Force) has worked with Adobe and, prior to their acquisition, Macromedia to improve the standards compliance and accessibility of web pages produced with Adobe Dreamweaver.
  • The Accessibility Task Force works with accessibility organizations, technology vendors and others to help promote Web accessibility.
  • The WaSP / Microsoft Task Force was formed in July of 2005 to support Microsoft as the company began increasing Web standards support in its browser and web authoring products.
  • WaSP’s Education Task Force works directly with educational institutions to promote instruction of Web standards and standards-compliant public sites.
  • The WaSP International Liaison Group (ILG) is an international collective of web professionals promoting the global use of standards to ensure an equitable Web.

We also are involved with the Acid2 and Acid3 browser tests, test pages for use by browser vendors.
