<div class="intro">
<p>The mission of this group is to gather and incubate new features and requirements for SVG — making it easier for software developers and content creators in the SVG community to engage with the SVG standardization process.</p>
<p>This group will complement the SVG working group, and covers the same scope of technologies. Draft proposals for new SVG features, developed in the community group, may transition to recommendation-track specifications in the working group.</p>
<p>This group may publish specifications.</p>

If you’re not yet on GitHub, this would be a good time to set up an account — we’re planning to use it for all community group work
