WebRTC Network of Users.

A loose grouping of WebRTC developers who give input/feedback to the w3c WebRTC working group.

Actions:

Help improve the webRTC APIs -> fill out the survey

Contribute to our github

Why ?

Current waterfall model for standards development

graph TD;
    WG[W3C WebRTC Working Group]-->BV[Browser Vendors];
    BV-->API[WebRTC API];
    API-->Devs[WebRTC APP developers];

Add webrtc.nu to provide input/feedback

graph TD;
    WG[W3C WebRTC Working Group]-->BV[Browser Vendors];
    BV-->API[WebRTC API];
    API-->Devs[WebRTC APP developers];
    Devs==>NU[WebRTC Network of Users];
    NU==Input/Feedback==>WG;

Background

This is based on a discussion had at TPAC 2022 see meeting notes

The core thesis is that the W3C process isn’t matching developer expectations so they dont’t contribute feedback or ideas.

The idea is for https://webrtc.nu to be an impedence matching interface between developers consuming the webRTC APIs and the W3C working group that specifies them.

How will this work?

TBD, but we definitely want to see an active open community form around this project - we aspire to the welcoming nature of https://pion.ly open-source community. We think that contributions/meetings should be held under Chatham House rules (or something similar)
