Hi, I just watched a presentation from Robert O'Callahan last night and I think some of you would enjoy it. He goes over some of the new stuff that's coming out in Firefox and how Firefox plans to develop the web and web standards. It includes demos of their new typography support (ligatures and kerning), built-in video, canvas, offline, APNG, and other stuff.
One of the really cool this is that Opera already supports a lot of this stuff too and I think Safari is working on it. So we should have > 20% market penetration of this stuff pretty soon. A lot of it degrades pretty well too. The video's at http://www.meetup.co.nz/2007/06/21/video-june-meetup-robert-ocallahan-from-mozilla-on-firefox-3/ there's also a short writeup on it on the New Zealand Herald http://www.nzherald.co.nz/section/story.cfm?c_id=5&objectid=10446902 I've become a bit cynical with the W3C and their recent slowness to come out with workable specs (XHTML 2 anyone?). There has only been a very small advance in web technology in the last few years I've been in the industry. The WHATWG seems to be taking up the torch well. I hope the W3C can get in on it though.
