OWD H1 projects

(draft!)

This is a tracking issue for the projects the OWD team wants to focus on in the first half (H1) of 2025. We're always working on a few different workstreams:

• Compat data: Collector, BCD, web-features (with WebDX CG and WebView CG)
• Content to Secure the Web Forward (with SWAG CG)
• Content for interoperable and widely available features (with Interop)
• Research workstream (integrating webref into docs tooling, automating docs creation, reference doc structures, etc.)

BCD and web-features

This workstream is about improving browser compat data, so that web developers and other tools and initiatives can rely on BCD as the best source of compat information.
Leads: Florian, Vinyl

• Run the collector for every new beta release of Chromium, Gecko, WebKit during H1 2024 (Florian)
• Map the remaining 10% of BCD keys into web-features (Florian)
• Support the release of BCD v6 (Vinyl)
• ... more TBD

Content for interoperable and widely available features

This workstream looks at various data points (interop initiatives, baseline data, and BCD) to write and improve docs for web platform features that can be used widely across engines.
Leads: Estelle

• Create pages for all features marked as newly available in all browsers: https://openwebdocs.github.io/web-docs-backlog/recent/
• Docs for interop 2025 features
• CSS modules

Content to Secure the Web Forward

This workstream is about writing new documentation, especially guides, tutorials and how-tos about web security and to update reference docs to talk about security matters. See the workshop report https://www.w3.org/2023/03/secure-the-web-forward/report.html for our 2023 research about this topic.
Leads: Will, Torgo

• Web Security docs for MDN
• ...
