Annouce/Promote Interop 2025?

[bkardell]

Every year for the past several years Apple, Bocoup, Google, Igalia, Microsoft and Mozilla (alphabetically) have worked on a project called "Interop" (originally "Compat") which aims to align priority/focus to rapidly improve the state of interoperability on aspects of the web platform. It begins with opening a call for proposals about what we should focus on and then throughout the year those are tracked (see https://wpt.fyi/interop-2024). For 2025, that happened today. Here are several posts about them (corresponding tweets/toots/skeets exist as well):

• Apple: https://webkit.org/blog/15942/get-ready-for-interop-2025-your-chance-to-shape-the-web/

• Google: https://web.dev/blog/interop2025-proposals

• Igalia: https://www.igalia.com/2024/09/17/Interop-2025-Opens-for-Proposals.html

• Microsoft: https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2024/09/17/interop-2025-call-for-proposals/

I would like to suggest that the openjs foundation write about or at least boost this effort and encourage developers to take advantage of this opportunity to submit and advocate for areas/features that are important for or painful to them. Past years have been very sucessful as you can see from the dashboards.

Great initiative. We're happy to amplify on our OpenJS social channels. We also would publish a guest blog from you @bkardell to further raise awareness and input to what interop areas need to be prioritized.
