Identifying New Work
Ding Wei and Philippe Le Hegaret
★ W3C TPAC 2023, Seville, 11–15 September ★
Where does new work come from?
- CGs: 179 CGs to monitor, so hard to track
- TPAC breakouts: once a year, no commitment for follows-up
- Workshops: ad-hoc, only proposed by Team (so far)
- Working/Interest/Business Groups
- Members: talking to the Team
- Outside: Trends, Social Networks
- Anywhere else?
Where does new work get followed on?
- Working Groups: only if the new work is within their scope
- Strategy Team's Incubation Pipeline
/ issues
- Vast mix of unclassified issues, hard to follow
- Sometimes a black hole for ideas
- How do we prioritize?
- Interest of multi-parties
- Multiple implementations?
- IPR
- others?
What can we do?
- Monitoring the outside trends
- Improve how Members, TAG can propose new work, workshop, or groups
- Regular Insights Workshop/Report
- Allow community to propose new work and track its progress
- Improve pipeline UI: Needs filtering, ideas should timeout if no follow up, might be splitted
- Improve pipeline flow:
- Create a Pipeline CG to allow the community to move items forward
- Prioritization: Involve TAG and/or AB to help Team?
Pipeline CG
Goal: Bring new work into proposed Working Group chartering
- Identify upcoming technology trends
- Propose workshops for insights on upcoming technology trends
- Help to bring new tech to incubation, or bring to a W3C Group (WICG, …)
- Review and maintain the strategy pipeline
- Help with prioritization
Next steps
- AB task force: Exploring New Horizons:
- Help bring new tech to incubation
- Identify upcoming technology trends
- "What" trends should come to W3C, how do we identify them
- Work with the Team to achieve this (incubation pipeline) at meetings and AC spring meeting.
- How to participate?
