*Permissions:* I agree with Brian that drag-n-drop is somewhat clumsy for granting permissions (see how well that works for bookmarklets...). I'm syncing up with Mike Smith on this tomorrow, and Glen and I will work on a better solution.
Also, what happens next time I visit the app? Is it authorized to launch the background task, or do I have to re-authorize it? *Lifetime:* Do we need the "start on browser launch" option? What's the use case for this? *Process model:* Are there cases when a background task would need to communicate with the tab that created it? For example, opening an event in an existing calendar window. Overall, this seems like a well thought-out proposal! -Nick On Wed, Oct 29, 2008 at 1:11 PM, Dmitry Titov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Good idea about OK delay... > That part of the proposal is indeed the most controversial.
