Brian Kardell, Developer Relations at Igalia, talks us through specs and features in standards and why those get prioritized or deprioritized.

What can developers do to get a better idea of these features and when to expect them in browsers. Also, how can developers contribute to these features? Brian has been working a long time in the developer community and browser standards.
