Joining Ranks: Here comes the DOM Scripting Taskforce

Monday, July 18th, 2005 at 2:26 pm

Lo and behold, what the Web Standards Project has to say in their latest press release:

In an effort to boost the quality of scripting on the world wide web, the Web Standards Project (WaSP) today announced the formation of the WaSP DOM Scripting Task Force

Lead by Jeremy Keith and Dori Smith, the task force will be evangelising the benefits of well-written, usable JavaScript and lead by example publishing articles and tutorials that illustrate best practices. These will be published on the DOM Scripting Task Force website and elsewhere.

Right now, the Task Force website is a humble, bare-bones affair (cobbled together by yours truly in half an hour) but the design and the content will be expanded before too long. For now though, there’s a blog where the Task Force members will be posting snippets and titbits of JavaScript-related news. Subscribe to the RSS feed to keep up to date with the activity.
