WebPlatform.org(orWebPlatform) was a community-editeddocumentationwebsite spun off byW3C.It sought to create a vendor-neutral online reference ofWeb platformstandards.

Details

[edit]

WebPlatform.org was an open community of developers building resources for a better web, regardless of brand, browser, or platform. Anyone could contribute to the reference, by collaborating on the wiki documentation pages (WebPlatform Docs), sharing and commenting on the WebPlatform blog posts, and communicating through theInternet Relay Chat(IRC)channel.

WebPlatform Docs usedMediaWikias its platform.[2]The documentation contained sections titled Beginners Guide, General Web Concepts,HTML,CSS,Accessibility,JavaScript,DOM,API&SVG,originally imported from resources maintained by the involved parties.

In September 2015, WebPlatform project was discontinued because the stewards' partnership agreement ended. All of its content was "frozen" and archived.[3][4][5]

New documentation can be found atMDN Web Docs.[6][7]
