Welcome to the Drupal HTML5 Group
This is a discussion and working group for anyone interested in implementing HTML5 markup and API's in Drupal. We are working on several projects to provide HTML5 support for Drupal 7, and pushing to get HTML5 native markup and form elements into Drupal 8 core.
HTML5 Tools is a module for overriding what core is doing. http://drupal.org/project/html5_tools
It works with the Elements module. http://drupal.org/project/elements
HTML5 Base is a base theme for creating HTML5 themes. http://drupal.org/project/html5_base
Semantic Views can help you control the markup of your Views. http://drupal.org/project/semanticviews
Going to DrupalCon Chicago? Look out for a core conversation about getting HTML5 into core, and for code sprints to help with the work. And wear a HTML5 t-shirt on the day of the core conversation to show your support.

WebSockets
Last week I ran "bumped into" @Crell at a conference and we had a nice discussion on WebSockets and possible inclusion in Drupal. At @Crell's request I'm doing a followup here in the WSCCI about WebSockets, their usage, the current state and future of.
About WebSockets:
WebSockets are an HTML5 component that allows stateful, full-duplex communication between a server and client (web browser) through a low level TCP socket. This is not your grandfathers internet.
"Stateful" and "full-duplex" imply a few big things.
Drupal 8 Mobile UX Roadmap
As we found out in London, Drupal's mobile admin interface faces some big obstacles to overcome. If we want to to be able to tackle some of these problems in the next release cycle we need focus, the idea being we don't move on to the next item in till we have the previous one licked. I've whipped up proposal for our road map. This is by no means complete, there is plenty of detail to fill in.
I'm hoping we can work on it together.
Words to live by
Don't let the current interface hold us back

Drupal+Microdata article on IBM developerWorks
IBM developerWorks asked me to do a series of articles on microdata. They just published the first article, Combine Drupal, HTML5, and microdata (it really talks about the microdata part of HTML5, rather than the more core parts that we're dealing with in the HTML5 initiative).

Drupal 8 now has an HTML5 DOCTYPE
I'm excited to announce that the patch to convert the html.tpl.php template has been committed. Here's what this means:
- Drupal 8 has a true HTML5 DOCTYPE.
- RDF is not hard-coded and the RDF variables are not exposed in the templates.
- There are separate variables to handle attributes for
<html>and<body>elements. This allows us to easily add attributes to the<html>element, such as a manifest attribute (which is needed when working with Offline Web applications using the Application Cache).
Blueskying Drupal 8 Mobile Solutions
Building mobile solutions encompasses a large problem space: native apps, HTML5 web apps, responsive design, device capability detection, mobile/desktop switching, front-end performance, etc.
I'm seeing lots of really interesting contrib modules and themes tackling mobile problems in Drupal 7.
Since Dries has already indicated that mobile will be an important aspect of Drupal 8, my question is:
what do you think Drupal 8 core (not contrib) should provide for mobile solutions out of the box?

Video module now compatible with WYSIWYG
Today I released new beta version of the video module, we have fixed lot of core issues on the video module, wiped out unwanted code, formatted code to match coding standards and lot more.
Module Required : WYSIWYG
In feature wise we could add WYSIWYG module support. In WYSIWYG setting button and plugin you can see option to enable video button.
Read moreSo Long, Internet Explorer 6
On September 11, 2011, the Drupal project scored a huge win. Dries Buytaert committed a patch, officially dropping IE6 support in Drupal 8! This is exciting news for Drupal, as it will allow us to get rid of some legacy baggage, and use more clean and modern coding techniques. It also translates to less of a burden for contributors.

Original post : http://heididev.com/video-module-7x-2x-what-you-should-know
I released video module 7.x-2.1-alpha2 version on 11th of Sep. This major version completely redesign the video module and its core, I'm the only one worked on this release and seems our co-maintainers (6.x) had no time to contribute code to the 7.x yet. I'm very very happy about the progress of downloading and using video module. It has over 10,500+ usage now.
In this article I'm going to examine some new features added to the video module.
Read moreResuming monthly accessibility conference calls
During the accessibility BoF at Drupalcon London several people showed interest in resuming the monthly conference calls that we have had in the past.
I would be happy to participate in these calls, and think we should get started. There are several initiatives that require some attention, primarily:
- html5 accessibility (including WAI-ARIA in Core)
- WYSIWYG in Core
- Further triage and patches for open accessibility issues
- ...
I'm hoping that someone will volunteer to organize these calls so that we can:

How can we improve frontend sprints at Drupal events?
Last updated by lewisnyman on Wed, 2015-01-07 12:36
At DrupalCamp Ghent, we held a very small frontend BOF, with myself, Laurii, Emma.maria, and guest frontender Xano.
It quickly became a retrospective on the Friday sprints that took place at DrupalCon Amsterdam. The collective thoughts were not positive. It felt like we fell way short of our goals and potential for the Friday sprint. Drupalcon Friday sprints are about introducing people to sprinting and it feels like we failed badly at that.
Here were some of the problems:
- Newbies did not get enough help
- The few people helping the newbies did not get enough support

If you have development chops, designers and other contributors of this community need your help bringing designs to life.
Allow me to paint a picture of the need and skills required...
The task of creating content has been redesigned (http://groups.drupal.org/node/217434), and has reached a point of consensus. At this point, the design really needs to interactive to flush out how all of the various interactions will work (or don't). Additionally, once made interactive, we validate the direction by testing the prototype with end users.

HTML5 Myths
Last updated by chrisrcooper on Mon, 2015-05-04 16:08
(Let's create a Myth versus Fact document to answer reoccurring concerns about HTML5 and Drupal. Anyone can edit this document and provide answers. HEAVY rewriting is welcome at this stage!)
=====
Myth: HTML5 is not done, we should wait until it's done before implementing it in Drupal.
Fact: Most of HTML5 is dividable in 3 different groups: "it just works", "degrades by default", and "some effort required". See http://mathiasbynens.be/notes/html5-levels for additional information.

We already have the number field in the html5_tools.module file and you can use that as a base for starting the other fields.
If you're interested in what new fields are available take a look at the elements module code, there is not support for email, number, url, color, and range.
