The plan for linux is to use libnotify, which is Growl-like, for text notifications, and possibly something we build for HTML balloon notifications which could be turned on or off by the user. Can you elaborate on what you mean by "more broad"? We think that offering a text version and an html version which app writers can query for in the browser allow us to offer on each platform the most full-featured option that makes sense to those users. Other user agents could then implement one or the other or both as makes sense for their platforms (thinking mobile especially).
I'll update the doc to discuss the linux plan. -John On Wed, Aug 5, 2009 at 4:13 PM, Evan Martin <[email protected]> wrote: > On Wed, Aug 5, 2009 at 4:00 PM, Evan Martin<[email protected]> wrote: > > On Wed, Aug 5, 2009 at 3:51 PM, John Gregg<[email protected]> wrote: > >> As I mentioned to some of you offline, I would greatly appreciate a > >> "pre-review" so I can start to work out the issues and be as ready as > >> possible to check in once the WebKit process finishes. > > > > Looks promising, but I see Mac and Windows code and no Linux. ? > > To clarify, I'd at least like to see the design doc address how and > whether this will work on Linux.
