WebPlatform.org (or WebPlatform) was a community-edited documentation website spun off by W3C. It sought to create a vendor-neutral online reference of Web platform standards. The project was a collaboration among Adobe Systems, Apple Inc., Facebook, Google, HP, Microsoft, Mozilla, Nokia, Opera Software, and W3C, who were called "stewards" of the WebPlatform project.{{cite web| url = http://www.webplatform.org/stewards/ | title = Web Platform Stewards | access-date = 2012-10-08 }}
Details
WebPlatform.org was an open community of developers building resources for a better web, regardless of brand, browser, or platform. Anyone could contribute to the reference, by collaborating on the wiki documentation pages (WebPlatform Docs), sharing and commenting on the WebPlatform blog posts, and communicating through the Internet Relay Chat (IRC) channel.
WebPlatform Docs used MediaWiki as its platform.{{cite web|title=Web Platform Docs Debuts with Developer Resources|url=http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2012/10/08/web-platform-docs-debuts-with-developer-resources.aspx|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171213205038/https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/ie/2012/10/08/web-platform-docs-debuts-with-developer-resources/|archive-date=2017-12-13|access-date=2021-03-20|author=IEBlog|website=IEBlog|publisher=Microsoft}} The documentation contained sections titled Beginners Guide, General Web Concepts, HTML, CSS, Accessibility, JavaScript, DOM, API & SVG, originally imported from resources maintained by the involved parties.
In September 2015, WebPlatform project was discontinued because the stewards' partnership agreement ended. All of its content was "frozen" and archived.{{Cite web|url=https://webplatform.github.io/blog/2012/11/|title=Blog · WebPlatform.org|website=WebPlatform.org|access-date=2021-03-20}}{{Cite web|url=https://teamtreehouse.com/community/messaage-on-webplatformorg-site|title=Messaage on webplatform.org site {{!}} Treehouse Community|last=Rohani|first=Kirk|date=2016-11-15|access-date=2021-03-20|website=Treehouse Community}}{{Cite web|url=https://github.com/paulirish/w3fools/issues/71|title=Endorse MDN instead of Web Platform Docs · Issue #71 · paulirish/w3fools|last=Fregoso|first=Aldo|date=2016-11-22|access-date=2021-03-20|website=GitHub}}
