Stewards
In order to bring this site to the community, and to maintain it, we relied on the generosity of the Web Platform stewards.
This site has been convened by W3C. The other stewards, listed below, support it through content, people, funding, and other contributions. More information on each of the stewards can be found on their pages.
Steward Testimonials
Here's what some of our stewards think of WebPlatform.org, and why they are sponsoring.
Adobe
The web platform has become the medium of creative expression for web developers and designers, and it continues to evolve and to become ever more expressive. Having a reliable source of information for modern, up to date best practices is a huge time saver for creative professionals and will allow them to focus on what they do best: creating. Adobe is proud to participate in this effort to bring together the resources that will benefit the entire community of people passionate about the web.
Arno Gourdol, Senior Director for the Web Platform for Adobe
A community-driven documentation center that spawns the entire open Web platform is a needed and welcome resource for developers. Facebook is proud to contribute to this initiative and we are are looking forward to see where the community takes it.
Tobie Langel, W3C Advisory Committee Representative, Facebook
Google has always believed that an open, standards-based community is best suited to drive the web forward.

It's one step forward for the web and a huge step forward for web developers.

Intel has been a sponsor of open source software projects for many years, but these projects need developer documentation to effectively exploit them.

We have needed a site like Web Platform Docs for years. Web developers often struggle to find decent information on all the newest technologies that they need to know about; having a single site to turn to that they can trust will save them a lot of time.
