Google Doctype: Documenting the Open Web
Date : 2008 05 14 Category : Tech & DevelopmentMark Pilgrim has released Google Doctype, an open encyclopedia and reference library. Written by web developers, for web developers. It includes articles on web security, JavaScript DOM manipulation, CSS tips and tricks, and more.
The reference section includes a growing library of test cases for checking cross-browser and cross-platform compatibility.
This is just the beginning for the ambitious project, which is open source, and open licensed (Creative Commons). Now it is out there we, the developers, have the option to add valuable data to grow the corpus.
Congrats to Mark on the launch. I know that it has been a huge amount of work for him, and I am excited to see it out there. Below is Mark talking about the project:
