Welcome to Mozilla's standards participation page.

Many at Mozilla participate in the development of open web standards, in a variety of different standards bodies. This is a directory of standards organizations (and sub-orgs like working groups) listing who at Mozilla is working with each. For a technology summary see the technologies page.

To encourage better web standards coordination and cross-pollination, the sections below are organized alphabetically by standards body, then alphabetically by working group (if any), then the list of Mozilla folks participating in that working group, optionally listing which particular specifications (or sections thereof) that they edit/author/contribute to.

If you actively directly communicate/participate with a standards body (working group email list, IRC, wiki, and/or f2f meetings), please add yourself (and the specific standards body / working group if any).

If you work in multiple working groups or with multiple standards organizations, list yourself in each, linking to your wiki User page.

Thanks!

Web Standards Coordination

General Participation Guidelines

If you'd like to participate in some of these groups, or at least watch, learn, get up to speed, you can almost always do so by lurking on the public IRC channels and mailing lists that the groups use. Many (most?) standards mailing lists can often be overwhelming in quantity, depth so start with IRC as that's often lighter-weight and easier to watch for quick bits of info/knowledge.

  • Follow the instructions on the IRC wiki page to:
    • Set yourself up with a nickname and connection to irc.mozilla.org.
  • Add a connection to irc.freenode.net (also with [x] SSL) where many standards discussions take place.
  • Add another connection to irc.w3.org but specifically port 6665 (unprotected, no nickname registration).
  • See each standards section below for which IRC channel(s) tend(s) to be used by folks working in each group.
