Hi All,
During WebApps' November 1 joint meeting with the Protocols and Formats
WG, I recorded the action below to make sure the Widget Packaging and
Configuration spec [P&C] was updated to clearly state a "widget", in the
context of [P&C], is a client-side packaged application and *not* a UI
control.
To address this issue, Marcos updated the Abstract of the latest
Editor's Draft and the relevant text now reads:
[[
This specification standardizes a packaging format and metadata for a
class of software known as widgets. Unlike traditional user interface
widgets (e.g., buttons, input boxes, toolbars, etc.), widgets as
specified in this document are full-fledged client-side applications
that are authored using Web standards such as HTML5 and then packaged
for distributions.
]]
Thanks for raising this issue and the useful meeting in Lyon!
-Regards, Art Barstow
