Web Applications Packaging: Working Draft

   The Web Application Formats Working Group has released the First  
Public
   Working Draft of "Web Applications Packaging Format Requirements."  
The
   document specifies design goals and requirements for packaging small
   client-side Web applications known as "widgets", "gadgets" or
   "modules," used to display and update remote data. Applications  
such as
   clocks, stock tickers, news casters, games and weather forecasters  
are
   packaged to allow a single download and installation on a client
   machine. Read about Rich Web Clients.
