      It seems like I need to be more explicit part 3 in -- specifically for webdevs -- in my blog post series about standards (a small thread): https://infrequently.org/2018/06/effective-standards-work-part-1-the-lay-of-the-land/ … https://infrequently.org/2018/06/effective-standards-work-part-2-threading-the-needle/ …

      In addition to being entirely unfit for feature development and iteration (that's what incubation proecesses are for), chartered WG stages have near zero predictive value. I tried to outline why in the previous posts, but it seems worth underlining *that* it's true.

      The takeaway for you, as a web developer is this: dissent of one engine (or even multiple) to a proposal requires an *exrtordinary* amount of background info to unpack, let alone judge well. If you are only watching the performative aspects of the pagent, you'll be disempowered.

      Understanding the forces on the players is time consuming, but wishes for even coastlines don't keep ships from running aground.

      So how to judge a situation? Watch who's willing to lead by shipping (preferably through flags and trials) and prioritises evidence + feedback in decision making.

          I don’t think KPIs for browser vendors should include # of new APIs shipped, which seems to be how the chrome team operates. Shipping a bunch of half baked APIs that no other vendor will ever ship is irresponsible and not good for the web.

          This is deep in Not Even Wrong territory. Happy to discuss in a less agro forum. My DMs are open.

          Does that work for Apple? They rarely share their decision making process at all in public channels. Like, for example,https://github.com/w3c/manifest/issues/835 …

          It’s possible that rniwa was basing this decision on something, but most everybody in the thread struggled to identify what. Maybe it was/is evidence based, or maybe it wasn’t, but without going behind the scenes at Apple, I feel like I just can’t know what they’re thinking.

          Firefox’s shipping of subgrid being an excellent example of such leadership.https://adactio.com/notes/16344
