WebPlatform.org (or WebPlatform) was a community-edited documentation website spun off by W3C. It sought to create a vendor-neutral online reference of Web platform standards. The project was a collaboration among Adobe Systems, Apple Inc., Facebook, Google, HP, Microsoft, Mozilla, Nokia, Opera Software, and W3C, who were called "stewards" of the WebPlatform project.[1]

What's new for the web platform
Transcription
When I first started web development there was pretty much just Netscape. All I ever had to do was open up one browser and make sure that it worked there. These days it’s not unusual for me to have about five different browser windows open at the same time. A good portion of my front-end development time is spent trying to figure out how I can best build a feature and a good portion of that is spent finding the right website where I can find out the information I need. Right now, there’s a lot of great information out there but it’s spread across a bunch of different sites. Often times the difference between getting that information quickly and right and getting it wrong can be the difference between something taking an hour and all day. As the web moves forward we have different operating systems, different browsers, different devices and not just that – the standards we use for the web keep changing rapidly, day in and day out. And it’s hard to find the documentation for what works across all of them. This is something we all need to solve together, as a community, for the web to be the best it can be. The founding members of Web Platform Docs have contributed quite a bit of content to create the foundation for Web Platforms Docs. It’s a new community-driven site that aims to become a comprehensive source for web developer documentation. But it’s also an open community, which means you can contribute by sharing your knowledge and your experience. What we need now is a larger community to get in there and deepen the content with their own expertise. Join in the conversation, make this web site the best. Just go to WebPlatform.org and sign up. Share your expertise. Make it exactly just what you and I need for building a web page. Join the community, and start learning and sharing today. �
Details
WebPlatform.org was an open community of developers building resources for a better web, regardless of brand, browser, or platform. Anyone could contribute to the reference, by collaborating on the wiki documentation pages (WebPlatform Docs), sharing and commenting on the WebPlatform blog posts, and communicating through the Internet Relay Chat (IRC) channel.
WebPlatform Docs used MediaWiki as its platform.[2] The documentation contained sections titled Beginners Guide, General Web Concepts, HTML, CSS, Accessibility, JavaScript, DOM, API & SVG, originally imported from resources maintained by the involved parties.
In September 2015, WebPlatform project was discontinued because the stewards' partnership agreement ended. All of its content was "frozen" and archived.[3][4][5]
New documentation can be found at MDN Web Docs.[6][7]
