Sorry for the late answer, I was busy with the Telephony & Messaging API and SysApps F2F on TPAC.
Yes, I am in the loop with the Contacts API, but I am not editor. The outstanding question since the last F2F (August) is whether to use DataStore API for Contacts and Messaging (and CallHistory). https://wiki.mozilla.org/WebAPI/DataStore Mozilla is really pushing for it. That is useful in an FxOS type environment, but not very efficient for Tizen... In August I have made drafts for each spec above, using DataStore, and it indeed simplifies the spec itself - but we have serious doubts about being able to implement it efficiently, with Tizen native story in mind, too. http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-sysapps/2013Aug/0077.html I sketched the problem wrt CallHistory, which is partly similar story, check this: https://github.com/sysapps/telephony/issues/212 Tomorrow we will have a conference call with Mozilla and Telefonica about DataStore. I will send an update about the decision, if we reach any. Until this is settled, you can still work on the API parts that are not affected by DataStore. Check this draft (also mentioned in the sysapps mail link from above): https://etherpad.mozilla.org/R2Xrl2253o Best regards, Zoltan On Mon, Nov 11, 2013 at 10:06 AM, Huang, Deqing <deqing.hu...@intel.com> wrote: > Status of the Spec: > > Editor’s draft, as indicated in > http://www.w3.org/2012/sysapps/contacts-manager-api/ > > Not sure if Anssi, Sakari or Zolton knows more details of the status? > > > > Support from other venders: > > AFAIK Firefox Mobile(Gecko) supports this API since 18.0 > > Not supported on Android, Opera, Safari, Chrome, and Firefox desktop. > > > > Compatibility Risk: > > Low.
