Update from the Birds: November OSS Progress
Published on December 17, 2024 by Sondra Eby

Thank you for supporting our OSS work this year! Here's what we've been up to in November.

from James Stuckey WeberI contributed to the baseline-status web component, which can be used to embed the Baseline status of a Web Feature on your site.

from Jonny Gerig MeyerIn November we released minor updates to both the Anchor Positioning and Popover polyfills.

from Miriam SuzanneI’ve spent much of my time traveling and teaching workshops – let me know if your team or company is interested – but things are still moving in the CSS Working Group as well. The W3C Technical Architecture Group weighed in on the Masonry layout syntax, but that conversation is still deadlocked. Meanwhile, there have been a number of breakouts to discuss better customization and styling of form inputs, and Robert Flack’s proposal for improving overflow controls – which will be part of CSS Overflow level 5. Chromium engineers are working on a scroll-state(scrollable) container query for styling boxes that have scrollable overflow. And, in case you haven’t seen it, CSS has a new logo – officially endorsed by the CSS Working Group this week.
