Looking for contributors!

The Spin the Web Project is a work in progress; it is currently managed by a passionate developer looking for equally passionate collaborators.

We welcome people who have as much passion for what they do as we have for what we do! Whether your interests are in protocols, teaching and education, communication and outreach, design and user experience (UX), logic and programming, open source advocacy, web accessibility, information architecture, standards development, documentation and technical writing, community building, security and privacy, data visualization, semantic web and linked data, automation and DevOps, digital sustainability, creative coding and digital art, or any related field—your enthusiasm and expertise can help shape the future of the web. Join us!

Read our contributing guide to learn how you can get involved, our code of conduct to understand our community standards, and about our project governance for details on how decisions are made and how the project is sustained.

Spin the Web is organized into four core repos:

• schemas
  WBDL core: Defines the Webbase Description Language (WBDL). While HTML describes a single web page, WBDL describes an entire web portal!

• book
  Living documentation: An evolving textbook covering philosophy, architecture, implementation, usage, and future directions.

• webspinner
  WBDL runtime: A full-duplex server interpreting WBDL, handling portal requests, and delivering dynamic web experiences.

• project
  Project administration: Governance, sustainability, and community coordination.
