Progress of WKD in different products
This page informs about the progress of WKD and its usability in different products. The page also contains links to issues so everybody can see if a feature is already in work. Feel free to add information and to create issues for your favorite product.
Here is an explanation of some columns:
- Supports WKD: There are two stars because the draft for the WKD standard contains two methods - the direct and the advanced method. If a product supports one of these methods it gets one star. If it supports both methods it gets two stars.
- Usability of WKD: On the page Usability of WKD criteria are listed which help to implement WKD in a user-friendly way. The bar in this column visualizes how many percents of these criteria are fulfilled.
Note: The list of products will be sorted alphabetically.
