WaSP 宣布成立国际联络组（ILG）
在担任 Web Standards Project 组长的几年里，我总是有一股热情与期望，希望创建一个全球性的人际网络。毕竟这才是万维网，对吧？为了强化我们的使命，我认为保持包容的心态才是一个正确的选择，而不是排外的心态。 为了实现这个目标，我考虑为 WaSP 构建一种新的团队。这个团队并非是任务制（Task Force）或者委员制（Committee），而应是一种致力于分享全球资源的工作组。它的职责是提供本土化的翻译、人际联络、信息交换甚至在条件允许的情况下，进行面对面的交流。跟其他团队一样，这个工作组由不同人士组成，用于联系各国的相关组织，为全世界的开发者和设计者提供充足的专业资源。 考虑到我即将卸任，我有些犹豫是否应该提出这个想法，害怕在没有解决掉老问题的情况下，又给 WaSP 带来新的挑战。草根和一些志愿者组织是很难去管理的，例如，显而易见的是带薪工作和家庭对个人来说，它的优先级一定高于志愿者工作。但是，我仍然提出了这个想法，现在，我很高兴当时我做出了这个决定。 在我提出这个建议后，工作组开始逐渐壮大并呈现出民主的自我组织的形态。现在， ILG 正式由两位了不起的女士所带领—— Stephanie Troeth 和 Glenda Sims，她们对专业化的贡献和在此行业的表现都十分出众。工作组聚集了全世界不同地区的杰出人士，我们的使命与愿景正在伴随着我们的热情与感恩的心而不断向前。 因此，今天我怀着无比喜悦的心情荣幸的向大家介绍 Web Standards Project 国际联络组 （ILG)。 此致敬礼， Molly Molly E. Holzschlag Web Standards Project (WaSP) 前任领导人 — Shen Liu

Acid 2 Test Back to Normal
By Derek Featherstone | July 24th, 2008
The Acid 2 test hosted here on the WaSP site was broken but is now fixed.
For a while now we’ve had a problem with the Acid 2 Test on the WaSP site. If you’re unfamiliar with the Acid 2 Test, it is essentially a test for browser vendors to use as a means to gauge their standards compliance. If your browser renders the Acid 2 Test page the same as the Acid 2 reference rendering, then you know you’re hitting the mark.
I’ll be honest: over the last 10 days, I’ve learned more about the Acid 2 Test than I ever wanted to know. If you want to do the same, you might start with Acid 2: The Guided Tour.
The short version is that part of Acid 2 is a test for the way a browser handles an <object> element when the data attribute references a URL that returns an HTTP status code of 404. A number of caching rules, mod_rewrite rules and redirects all collided to create a problem with our 404. The cached version of our 404 page was returning an HTTP status of 200. As you might expect, this basically makes the test useless.
Acid 2 was broken. Now it is not. Carry on.
