Now when will we see a truly open standard for WebGL? The Khronos Group is dominated by industry heavyweights who are designing a non-open standard that benefits their interests. Soon we likely won't be able to implement competitive web browsers without proprietary code from graphics card manufacturers. I am very unhappy with the direction of this even if the web clearly needs better graphics support.
- vilya 14y agoThis is pure FUD. Membership in the Khronos Group is open to anyone who's willing to pay their fees (which includes Mozilla, Google, Opera and a number of universities, by the way - not just GPU vendors). The specifications they produce are publicly available at no cost. They even have a public mailing list so you can follow the discussions of the working group. How much more open do you want? Maybe a better question: if that isn't what you consider "open", what is?
