The W3C has a formal track for making standards specs. The specs answer a lot of questions, but not all of them. This wiki is for connecting the people who make the specs with the people who build on them.
Pages here have no formal status but may have WikiConsensus. Questions & answers here may be misleading, or just plain wrong. Or, they may be useful.
Notable topics include:
Quality Assurance, MarkupValidator, TrackingIssues, UriTesting
Semantic Web FAQs, SemanticWebTools, SPARQL, CategoryGrddl, OwlAuthoringTools
emerging topics: LinkedData, RdfAndSql, EmbeddingRDFinHTML, RDFa
Security, starting around March 2006, for discussion on W3C Security-related specifications and enhancements to XML-Dsig
SchemaComposition and topics related to XML Schema, prompted by the W3C Workshop on XML Schema 1.0 User Experiences
MailingLists, InternetRelayChat, JabberChickenEgg, ConnectingAudiences, ScheduledTopicChat, AdvancedDevelopment

Traditional WikiWikiWeb starting points:
RecentChanges: see where people are currently working (see also MailingLists)
HelpForBeginners: to get you going
WikiSandBox: feel free to change this page and experiment with editing
FindPage: search or browse the database in various ways
We also keep notes AboutThisService, like WikiUpgrade.
