The W3C's work on its experimental web browser -- the Amaya Activity -- was closed in April, as a result of a W3C Advisory Committee Review.

Following our brief wire item on this, Janet Daly of the W3C commented more fully.

The Amaya Activity was closed in April, as a result of a W3C Advisory Committee Review.

For now, development on Amaya within the W3C will focus on making Amaya a stable authoring tool that fullfils the requirements of editing the W3C website (valid HTML, support for HTTP PUT etc.). Given this tightened focus on the tool aspects, Amaya is now developed within the W3C Systems Team. W3C Technical Staff time has also been reduced on this project, which makes community contributions all the more valuable.
