Under 'Additions Agreed':
* Web Intents - this will be a joint deliverable with DAPI WG
Pedantically, not politically: My recollection is that the agreement was only
to add Web Intents to the Webapps charter (neither accepting nor denying a
joint deliverable with DAPI). The status of the joint deliverable is still a
possibility, just technically not agreed upon as of yet. It may be best to
reword this to state that the possibility still exists, so those not in
attendance don't get the idea that we agreed to a joint deliverable at the
meeting.
My recollection, which seems to be supported by the minutes, is that Chaals
supported moving this to DAP, Google (collectively) wouldn't object to a joint
deliverable, Maciej said Apple couldn't join DAP as-is but I don't recall
issues with joint work. Rough consensus seemed to drift towards joint work. At
the DAP meeting, where the notion of a joint deliverable was accepted, Jonas
(amongst several others) specifically requested that this happen on a separate
mailing list. So unless we are keen to rathole on politics I'd suggest we just
go with that, no? An additional plus is that doing it jointly means we can
start right now and not wait for WebApps to recharter.
I'll have a joint TF proposal out here very soon.
As the discussion on October 31 was ending, I asked if anyone objected
to a joint deliverable and no one did [1]. Given DAP is agreeable with
cooperating with WebApps on Web Intents, it seems like the most
expeditious and practical way forward is to create a list for related
discussions.
