Welcome to the HTML5 Developers Forums

Here we will discuss HTML5, what it means for the Internet and how we're using it in our websites. I've developed this forum mainly because I want to become more aquainted with web development through HTML5 myself. I don't necessarily think that HTML5 is the be-all and end all of web development as some companies would seem to have you believe, but I certainly do think it will play an important role in the development of the web going forward. So please join us in the discussion of HTML5, I look forward to reading and learning from those who join.

HTML5 Isn't Completely Ready Yet

The following article from CNET points to the fact that HTML5 may not be completely ready for prime time yet, in spite of the fact that Google and Apple have been practically pushing it down people's throats.

Listening to marketing messages from companies such as Apple and Google, one might think HTML5, the next-generation Web page standard, is ready to take the Net by storm.

But the words of those producing the specification show an HTML governance process that can be stormy, fractious, and far from settled down. The World Wide Web Consortium's return to HTML standardization after years of absence has produced tensions with the more informal Web Hypertext Application Working Group (WHATWG) that shouldered the HTML burden during that absence.

This of course doesn't mean that HTML5 couldn't quickly become a web standard.
