Introducing group activity pages

The IT/Systems Operations team has the dual function of developing and supporting the technical infrastructure required to enable and operate the work of our consortium, and the tools and environments that enable participation from around the world to contribute to our technical program.

In this series, we focus on communicating incremental improvements to our tooling.

If you have ever tried to find out what a W3C group has been working on lately, you know it often means piecing together information from several sources: publication lists, GitHub repositories, mailing lists, meeting minutes, and more.

That's why we are introducing activity pages: one place to see what a group has been doing, month by month.

You can find a group's activity page under the new activity tab, for example the GPU for the Web Working Group's activity. The page shows the last three months of activity with options to load older ones.

We also provide archive pages that show all activity per year. Click "Browse archives" to select a specific year.

What the page shows

Each month lists what happened in the group, sorted into the following areas:

• group lifecycle: charter creation and extensions, group closing
• group participation: people and organizations joining and leaving the group, chair and team contact changes
• past meetings scheduled in the W3C group calendar, with their minutes
• TR publications and Community Group reports
• GitHub: issues and pull requests, with their discussions

Use the filters to choose which subjects to show.

By default, only public activity is displayed, but you can choose to view restricted activity (such as private meetings) with the 'View public and restricted activity' link.

Still in beta: tell us what you think

These pages are still in beta. If something looks wrong or is missing, please open an issue on GitHub.

In the future, we would like to:

• make GitHub activity appear as soon as they happen (currently this is only synchronized once a day)
• add more data sources (for example mailing lists and W3C news, blog, press releases)
• provide an API to retrieve raw data

We would also like to hear what you use the pages for, and what you would want them to show next. We will hold a breakout session during TPAC 2026 to present this project, gather user feedback and discuss how this activity data could be further useful to the community.
