|
along with an
|
|
<a href="http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/Test/20110816/status/implementation_matrix.html">implementation report</a>.
|
|
This test suite will continue to be updated with new tests to improve interoperability even after Recommendation phase.</p>

|
<p>In addition, the SVG Working Group would like to acknowledge the
|
|
contributions of the editors and authors of
|
|
<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-SVG-20010904/">SVG 1.0</a> and
|
|
<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/REC-SVG11-20030114/">SVG 1.1 (First Edition)</a>,
|
|
as much of the text in this document derives from these earlier
|
|
versions of the SVG specification.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Finally, the SVG Working Group would like to acknowledge the
|
|
great many people outside of the SVG Working Group who help with the
|
|
process of developing the SVG specifications. These people are too
|
|
numerous to list individually. They include but are not limited to
|
|
the early implementers of the SVG 1.0 and 1.1 languages (including
|
|
viewers, authoring tools, and server-side transcoders), developers of
|
|
SVG content, people who have contributed on the <span class="url">www-svg@w3.org</span> and
|
|
<span class="url">svg-developers@yahoogroups.com</span> email lists, other Working Groups at the
|
|
W3C, and the W3C Team. SVG 1.1 is truly a cooperative effort between
|
|
the SVG Working Group, the rest of the W3C, and the public and benefits
|
|
greatly from the pioneering work of early implementers and content
|
|
developers, feedback from the public, and help from the W3C team.</p>
