ISSUE-36: Is the file API going to be part of Widgets 1.0? [Widgets]
http://www.w3.org/2008/webapps/track/issues/
Raised by: Marcos Caceres
On product: Widgets
A few months ago Opera proposed a fileIO API for standardization
[1]. It was discussed that widgets could make use of this API. The
issue remains how would this API be integrated into Widgets 1.0?
Should it be a core API or an external API to which a widget can
bind to?
