Ten Years of CSS Pantheon
It started as a bit of conversation and sparring between Daniel Glazman and I on Twitter. Then Daniel posted this list, which is just exceptional. I’m reposting here. Can anyone help with links and any missing persons? This is an awesome list and I’d like to fully expand it. Note that this only refers to people who were or are W3C CSS Working Group, not other influentials (though worthy they might be).
Thank you Daniel!

My off-line table shows also Guorgi (George) Chavchanidze and Timothy Hatcher. Also you should add Saloni Rai Mira from MS.
There more names in your list than my table.
I could only compile 27 members where you have 110 members. You have good contacts.
I will check the spelling now.
Looking at my maybes list, I now have move two into my official list of now 31.
There are a still a possible 11 maybes that are not in your list. Ones with O actions.
Should I put up my table.
My table also includes actions or recent WG participation.
Surely Dave Shea should be in there? I think CSS Zen Garden helped make so many web developers aware of CSS and it’s total power to create amazing web designs!
The list is a list of people who contributed directly on the SPECIFICATIONS in the CSS WG itself. Not people who made CSS percolate or evangelized the technical world, and not individual contributors in www-style (just because I had no more spare cycles to do that).
“Charles McCathieNevile, RMIT University, W3C” should be “Charles McCathieNevile, RMIT University, W3C, Opera”.
Håkon Lie -> Håkon Wium Lie
Boris Zbarsky.
I was going to suggest Braden McDaniel, but then I saw the project constraints, so never mind. I’m curious: is my presence on the list due to my being in the acknowledgments section of CSS2, or for some other reason?
I’m shocked not to see Jeffrey Zeldman on that list, or did I miss it? He certainly has (among a slew of the others) influenced me.
“Note that this only refers to people who were or are W3C CSS Working Group, not other influentials (though worthy they might be).”
I see that is why… my bad. :/
Eric: Daniel made this list but I’m pretty sure that it’s due to your influence in the WG.
@Eric: you were a very active member of the WG a few years ago, right ?-)
Get over yourselves …
Really great names..
As well as Chaals needing Opera added, Ian Hickson also worked for Opera. I think the other missing Opera employees have been listed.
thanks
