This week at W3C: MPAA joined W3C, Vimeo rebuilds HTML5-Based Video Player, Vocabularies at W3C, TAG election, etc.
Part of Data
This is the 3-10 January 2014 edition of a “weekly digest of W3C news and trends" --the first of the year, happy new year!-- that I prepare for the W3C Membership and public-w3c-digest mailing list (publicly archived). This digest aggregates information about W3C and W3C technology from online media —a snapshot of how W3C and its work is perceived in online media. You may tweet your demos and cool dev/design stuff to @koalie, or write me e-mail. If you have suggestions for improvement, please leave a comment.

Wow! Vimeo enabled correct HTML5 video player! Why YouTUBE, Vimeo and other sites still used Flash technology???
Are they want to "Stop" the modern world? I hate "flash technology". This technology must die as a standard!!!
I hope, that W3C will deliver us from "flash technology" forever!
