2.3.4 Community
To enable early community involvement, we also used the public GitHub repo
for spec work [Khronos 14a]. We used GitHub issues to discuss spec details and
wrote the draft spec in a markdown file in the repo. As expected, the working
group still did the majority of the work, but community feedback is valuable and
also gives developers more buy-in since their voices are heard. In addition, the
public archives are a useful resource for why design decisions were made.
2.3.5 WebGL, OpenGL, and OpenGL ES
glTF is a runtime format for WebGL, OpenGL, and OpenGL ES. However, we are
pragmatic about where we expect initial adoption—by the WebGL community.
