<p>During the lunch break at the <a href="http://www.w3.org/2007/05/html-mail/" title="W3C HTML Mail Workshop - 24 May 2007 - Paris">HTML in email workshop</a> in Paris, a Web designer told me it was too expensive to participate to W3C work. This is a common myth about W3C. There are <strong>many ways to participate</strong> and be part of the Web standard efforts without necessary being a computing engineer and/or become a <a href="http://www.w3.org/Consortium/membership-benefits" title="About W3C Membership: Benefits">W3C Member</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>In the next few weeks, I will introduce ways <em>anyone</em> can participate to W3C, without having to become a Member, and will explain how it benefits you <strong>and</strong> the Web communities. Let's start with the Quick Tips!</p>

|
|
|
|
<p><a href="http://www.w3.org/QA/Tips/" title="Quality Tips for Webmasters">Quick Tips</a> (or Quality Tips) are <q cite="http://www.w3.org/QA/Tips/">Short, simple bits of knowledge for better Web design, authoring, and use, on quality issues related to W3C technologies such as HTML, CSS, HTTP.</q> The Tips are however not limited to these technologies: It is entire possible to write about SVG, Semantic Web, Web Services or anything related to the W3C technologies.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>There is a very short <a href="http://www.w3.org/QA/Tips/#process" title="Quality Tips for Webmasters">set of guidelines for creating quick tips</a>. When writing one, you should focus on a few things: </p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Make it short</li>
|
|
<li>Make it cool to read</li>
|
|
<li>Make it useful for anyone</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>The Quick Tips are used on the <a href="http://validator.w3.org/" title="W3C validator">Markup validator</a> to give a short and quick readable information for Webmasters, and listed on this weblog. They are listed and can be used as reference materials for tutorials or in a Web agency, for example.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If your Web Site uses php, you can even include a block with random Tips with the following one-liner:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre class="html"><code><?php include "http://www.w3.org/QA/Tips/random_tip.inc"; ?></code></pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>It is a wide public exposure of your knowledge and skills (good karma) and it helps the community to benefit from your useful and simple recipes. Looking forward to your mails on <a href="mailto:public-evangelist@w3.org">public-evangelist@w3.org</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Next time, I will talk about tutorials.</p>

<p>Very good this (and these) post(s).</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Participate to a W3C work is time expensive, especially at the begining. The W3's website is too confuse to find some informations. When I joined the HTML WG I asked myself "What else?", no explanation, no links, I had to search for it. And it cost a lot of time.</p>
