Selenium and Conservancy
summary
Conservancy acts as the fiscal umbrella for Selenium and more than over 40 projects, taking on accounting, domain and trademark registration, vendor contract review and payroll so volunteers avoid paperwork. A newly hired full-time accountant speeds sponsor invoicing that used to lag. Conservancy runs paid three-month internships via Outreachy to onboard underrepresented contributors and enforces neutral, community-driven governance. The W3C WebDriver recommendation cements Selenium as the open standard for browser automation.
