Three Circles of Hell
September 23rd, 2008 | Author: admin
Molly Holzschag talks about the three circles of hell — challenges facing web standards in 2008, in an ALA article published this morning. How do we fix it without blaming everyone? How do we work together?
She identifies the three major circles influencing current web technologies and web standards:
- Academic and Scientific – the W3C
- Revolutionary and Disruptive – independent working groups
- Self Interest and Profiteering — proprietary technologies
“Can we figure out how to form these three circles into some working mechanism? Who knows. It will take mobilization, and it will take compromise. Beyond that, it will take a few hours out of everyone’s copious spare time to pay attention and participate in some way.”
