There are a couple of additional areas it would be useful to
consider
for future work in the Widgets space, specifically:
- inter-widget communication (both single-user and multi-user, e.g.
collaboration)
- social web APIs for widgets (e.g. friends, friends-of)
Are these deliverables the Widgets folks are willing to take on?
If so, are there clear use case & requirements documents, and
available editing resources?
Our preference is to minimise the surface area of what is specific
to widgets to the absolute strict minimum. That means that inter-
widget communications should just be taken care of as part of Web
Messaging, for instance.
I'm not sure what Social Web APIs would be. It sounds like a protocol?
Scott - would you please elaborate on this, in particular the interop
problem(s) that could be addressed by standardization at the W3C?
