This is the list of proposed Community and Business Groups. To express support for a
group, you must have a W3C account. Once a group has sufficient support
(5 supporters), W3C
announces its creation, lists it on the current groups page, and people
can join it to begin work.
Community Groups are proposed and run by the community. Although W3C
hosts these conversations, the groups do not necessarily represent the views of the W3C Membership or staff.
The Infinite Canvas Community Group explores the needs of infinite canvas tools—including spatial canvas applications, whiteboarding platforms, and collaborative design environments—in relation to the web standards platform.
Building on the Open Canvas Working Group's development of the Open Canvas Interchange Format (OCIF), this group will:
- Identify web platform requirements for infinite canvas applications
- Develop interoperability standards for infinite canvas data exchange
- Explore integration points with existing W3C specifications (SVG, Canvas APIs, Web Components, etc.)
The group aims to establish how existing web standards can better support infinite canvas use cases and where new standardization efforts may be beneficial, fostering an ecosystem where different infinite canvas tools can interoperate seamlessly on the web platform.
