• A community of people focused on evolving HTML and related technologies. The WHATWG was founded by individuals from Apple, the Mozilla Foundation, and Opera, leading web browser vendors, in 2004. Google subsequently joined the WHATWG with the move of the then-editor of the WHATWG specifications, Ian Hickson, from Opera to Google. The central organizational membership and control of WHATWG today (its “Steering Group”) consists of Apple, Mozilla, Google, and Microsoft. WHATWG community members work with the editor of the specifications to ensure correct implementation. ← Wikipedia ↑ whatwg.org
