I feel that one of the biggest problems we’ve got in terms of third party dealings with the W3C is the problem of representation; who represents who?

The “CSS Eleven” appears to be going about things the right way. That is, they’ve found 11 like-minded people who would like their needs and suggestions conveyed to the W3C for inclusion in the future CSS drafts. They’re willing to work together to try and help the W3C deliver something which caters (at least in some part) to their needs.

They don’t represent the industry as a whole; they represent themselves. It’s a shift away from the usual “we represent everyone” approach.

At least, that’s the boundaries that I *hope* the CSS Eleven operates within.

Come on guys lighten up a bit… These 11 Designers are without a doubt pioneers in CSS and standards based web design. Their knowledge and expertise has been both invaluable and inspirational right across the industry. The film reference is, I imagine, them having a lighthearted laugh… nothing wrong with that!

And anyway, what’s wrong with a bit of self-promotion… it’s actually a big part of a Designer’s activity. Their ultimate aim and objective will have a positive impact on the future of web design and standards and we should embrace, encourage and be grateful for their continuous endeavours.

I still think it might be worth putting up a little description of the purpose of the group on the site. I agree with Barney it can help promote it I like the current description of 11 and I know them from they blogs that I read and sometimes comment. Congratulations!

This sounds very promising ! I read most of the 11’s blogs etc so know that if they can be involved and listened to, that I will have a better time in the future as a web based worker. I misplaced my car stereo yesterday and its called Frank, i hope he didnt get on my laptop again.

Hahaha.

Yeah, but we know where you live Andy! I still think it might be worth putting up a little description of the purpose of the group on the site. Frank jumped the gun a bit but it did take the discourse in the comments on a blog post about the actual site for us to get something like a clear idea as to what the purpose of CSS Eleven is.

As it stands, the site seems to indicate the top stars of web design are getting together to make a film or rob a casino. :)

Oh, and in case anyone thought that I intended my last comment to come across as a criticism of people who are all to eager to make disrespectful comments without the balls to leave a publically identifiable URL (blogging’s equivelant of a drive-by shooting); it was.
