This is the supplemental web site for various standards activities, maintained by Eric Burger. Why is it here? Because while it is nice to give commercial entities the glory of supporting standards work, companies get sold or merge or change domain names, or people move, which makes it harder to get IT support from a company you no longer are associated with. This is my site, so I can do what I want. That also means it will be woefully out of date and will NOT be a cool, Flash-enabled multimedia extravaganza. I will often be checking this site on my Blackberry or Treo device; I want it to be easy for you to navigate and see the results on such limited devices.
And, let us not forget, it is cool to own your own domain.
