However, I believe that this spec actually is within our charter.
Overall, Section 2 of the charter, Scope, states: "The scope of the
Web Applications Working Group covers the technologies related to
developing client-side applications on the Web, including both
markup vocabularies for describing and controlling client-side
application behavior and programming interfaces for client-side
development." This spec is pretty clearly a "programming interface
for client-side development". It is true that the charter gives
some specific examples, but I do not believe they are intended to
be exhaustive and do not cover all deliverables.
The Charter also says "Per section 6.2.3 of the W3C Process
document, any substantive changes to the charter (e.g. additional
Recommendation-track documents not included in this charter) will
follow the Advisory Committee Review process.".
Was that Advisory Committee Review process followed for any of the
other specs we're working on that are not mentioned by name in the
charter? I listed a number of them in my earlier email (Selectors 2.0,
WebSimpleDB, DataCache, UMP).
In this case, it seems like we should follow the precedence used
with the other specs that were split from HTML5 and moved to
WebApps, thus this new spec would need to be added to WebApps
Charter before WebApps can publish it.
Anyway, I'll ask the Team for advice on the way forward and we
should move this administrative thread to WebApps Member list.
Sounds ok to me.
