Does your organization rely on MDN for reference docs?
Do you often need to check browser compat on MDN or caniuse.com?
Do you use tools like browser DevTools or VSCode in your work?

If so, you rely directly on the work that Open Web Docs does and you should consider sponsoring them.

Here is how to convince your boss:

This is the 100 year anniversary of humans having an idea of what the heck the sun and all the stars actually are. If you had asked a leading astronomer in 1925 what the sun was, they would say that it's basically the same as Earth, but very hot.

In Cecilia Payne's doctoral thesis she was the first to say, from spectral data, that the sun was overwhelmingly made of hydrogen and helium.

It was later described as "the most brilliant PhD thesis ever written in astronomy".

The @w3c WebFonts working group now has a fully functional Demo of Incremental Font Transfer which compares IFT to normal font loading with Unicode-range static subsetting. Just click on "next text sample" to see the font being upgraded in real time to support more writing systems and more font variation axes. There is a running total of bytes transferred, you can see that IFT loads much less data.

Both CFF2 and glyf fonts are used in the demo.

W3C Docs CG

As presented at the W3C Breakouts Day last week, we're considering launching a W3C Documentation Community Group. A place for technical writers, specification authors, and web developers to meet and discuss docs with the goal of providing a better understanding of web technologies.

Leave your feedback on the proposed charter: https://github.com/w3c-cg/charter-proposals/pull/1
