# Web Experience Working Group

## Introduction

Welcome to the Web Experience Working Group! We are dedicated to enhancing the

Web Development Experience (in short, Web Experience) within the Internet

Computer Protocol (ICP) ecosystem.

If you're new to the Internet Computer Protocol (ICP) ecosystem, we recommend

starting with the [ICP Documentation](https://internetcomputer.org/docs) to

familiarize yourself with key concepts and terminology.

## Mission Statement

Our mission is to make [ICP](https://internetcomputer.org/) development

accessible and intuitive for web developers while fostering innovation in

decentralized web technologies.

## Projects

The Web Experience Working Group focuses on projects that enhance the developer

and user experience of accessing the Internet Computer through web-based

platforms. This covers many layers of ICP development, from clients through to

canisters.

See the appendix on [Project Status](#project-status) for definitions of the

various project statuses.

### Clients

| Project             | Status | GitHub Issue                                                |

## Guiding Principles

1. Follow the principles, goals, and processes outlined in

   [ICRC-0: Internet Computer Working Group Operation and Governance](https://github.com/dfinity/ICRC).

   While the original ICRC document provides extensive details, this working

   group emphasizes the following key principles:

   - **Rough Consensus**: Strive for broad consensus among stakeholders,

     ensuring that any remaining objections are discussed and clearly justified.

   - **Composition**: The working group is open to anyone interested in

     participating, but will be split between a core group of active

     contributors and a larger group of passive participants.

     - **Core Team**: Actively contribute and vote on proposals.

     - **Chair(s)**: Drive the working group, schedule meetings, and determine

       consensus.

     - **Passive Participants**: Join discussions but do not vote.

     - **Sub Groups**: Sub groups may form to address specific topics and will

       dissolve upon achieving their objectives.

2. Leverage one of the ICP's key advantages: as a full-stack developer, you can

   deploy web applications without worrying about infrastructure management.

   This working group should prioritize delivering a seamless Web Experience

   while minimizing infrastructure management efforts.

## Composition

- DFINITY chair: [Luca Bertelli](https://github.com/ilbertt)

- Community chair: [Nathan Mc Grath](https://github.com/nathanosdev)

## Repositories

The working group initially owns a single core

[RFC repository](https://github.com/dfinity/wg-web-experience) in the DFINITY

GitHub organization to facilitate the creation of proposals related to web

experience improvements.

Working group members may contribute to community-owned repositories. However,

the working group does not intend to change the ownership of these repositories

and may even spawn new repositories that will remain independently owned by the

community.

A shared GitHub organization between DFINITY and working group members may be

created at a later stage, if the need arises.
