WebKit's positions on emerging web specifications

What is this Repository?

The WebKit Open Source Project uses this GitHub repository to come to consensus on various Web standards proposals. Once we've come to consensus, we publish our positions on the WebKit Feature Status page.

Please file an issue if you'd like us to generate a position on some web-facing API.

For previous positions see the webkit-dev mailing list archives.

Possible positions

Only once a label is assigned to an issue does it represent WebKit's position. Individual responses to issues do not represent the WebKit team's position on a standard or feature. Positions are not final. We are happy to revisit positions as new information becomes available.

• support - WebKit sees this specification as conceptually good, and worth prototyping, getting feedback on its value, and iterating.
• neutral - WebKit does not see this specification as harmful, but is not convinced that it is a good approach or worth working on.
• oppose - WebKit considers this specification to be harmful in its current state.
• under consideration - WebKit's position on this specification is being worked out and is not yet settled.
• not considering - WebKit does not intend to look at this specification in the near future.

Other possible issue states

• invalid - The issue is not about a specification which would be implemented in a browser engine such as WebKit.
• duplicate - The issue is a duplicate of another issue.
