Headlights 2014
Each year, the W3C designates a short list of trending topics for the future of the web and re-allocates resources to better address them. The consortium is now soliciting suggestions for focus topics to be part of the 2014 Headlights initiative. Have an idea of something the W3C should be prioritizing? Let me know, and we can propose it. See the Headlights 2013 web site for examples from last year.
