As a web designer/developer, I visit the W3C web site for reference almost daily, whether to check syntax for my web pages or to validate code. I am honored to donate to the project.

Thats a good idea to come up with a donation program. I wanted to support them before, but their memberships are way to expensive for me.

As pointed out in the W3C's information, there are other ways to contribute to the validator program. If you have the expertise to help code or test the validators, you'll be supporting the tools which are probably the most commonly used by developers worldwide.

I’m not sure how I feel about giving to an organization that hasn’t been overly transparent about where the money goes. If the W3C wasn’t so slow about nearly everything they do, I might consider giving. But as wortwart points out, there are other better services out there. While I would rather use a validator written by the people who write the specifications but if they can’t keep up then well too bad for them. Come on W3C get with it.

I see no point in supporting the W3C HTML validator which has had trouble with XHTML and has been (or still is, I don’t know) inaccurate. I rather use Validome.org’s service.

We support W3C and just made a donation to this wonderful program. We hope that all the readers will contribute to this cause in order for the free validators to be available for all.
