Blogs, articles, Press interviews: Working Group participants, TAG Members, W3C Staff are among the world's experts in Web technologies and their impacts. Give heads-up, share relevant work, things you author, or press enquiries, by writing to the W3C Comm team (w3t-pr@w3.org) about how you may attribute your work (or not) to W3C.
Tools in this section and the previous are in wide use and are

Note on Member Submissions: Per section
"Scope of Member Submissions" of the Process Document, "when a
technology overlaps in scope with the work of a chartered Working Group,
Members SHOULD participate in the Working Group and contribute the
technology to the group's process rather than seek publication through the
Member Submission process." Read more about how
to send a Member Submission request.
Collected Wisdom, Advice
Many of these resources were contributed by your colleagues; we
invite you to write down and share your experiences as well. Discussion
of issues that groups face take place on the chairs mailing list
(Member-only archive). You may
also find chairs meetings back to 1997 an
interesting source of wisdom.
Liaison's role. Note:
Per section "Liaisons" of
the Process Document, liaisons MUST be coordinated by the Team due to
requirements for public communication; patent, copyright, and other
IPR policies; confidentiality agreements; and mutual membership
agreements.
This Guidebook is intended to complement the W3C
Membership Agreement and the W3C
Process. This index page is Public, although a
small number of resources linked from this page may be visible only to the
W3C Membership or Team.
You are expected to be familiar with the parts of this Guidebook that
affect your work. Working Group chairs should get a "tour" from their team
contact. Then take a look again, for example, if you're going to hold a
face-to-face meeting; read the section on meetings to be sure you understand what's written
there, and to record any valuable knowledge you pick up along the way.
As editor of the guidebook, @w3c/guidebook will do its best to see that it gets better
over time. This does not mean that we do all the editing ourselves!
Note: Not all pages are maintained with the same
frequency. Some may be quite outdated. Please add your issues to the GitHub repository of this Guidebook if you have any specific comments and/or proposals to improve this Guidebook.
