W3C closes Amaya Activity

The W3C's work on its experimental web browser -- the
Amaya Activity -- was closed in April, as a result of
a W3C Advisory Committee Review.

Following our brief wire item on this, Janet Daly of
the W3C commented more fully.

The Amaya Activity was closed in April, as a result
of a W3C Advisory Committee Review.

For now, development on Amaya within the W3C will
focus on making Amaya a stable authoring tool that
fullfils the requirements of editing the W3C website
(valid HTML, support for HTTP PUT etc.). Given this
tightened focus on the tool aspects, Amaya is now
developed within the W3C Systems Team. W3C Technical
Staff time has also been reduced on this project,
which makes community contributions all the more
valuable.

For more about how to contribute to Amaya, or track
its progress, check out:

A list of potential OS projects are here:

Technical discussions happen on: www-am...@w3.org.

I gather they saw little point continuing with the Amaya browser,
given the good (and increasing) standards-compliance of Mozilla.

If Mozilla could author SVG I'd be happy.

I don't know that I'd put it that way. See
<URL:http://www.mozillazine.org/weblogs/asa/archives/003278.html>, which
suggests that the browser development is being transferred to INRIA.

Ahhh fantastic!! (I guess the SVG Essentials book I picked up a few weeks
ago has just leap up my reading-list)
