All, this should be of interest of everyone involved in the Mobile Web App Best Practices work! The group will have it's first teleconference tomorrow. From the group description: ==== In this group, we are looking for contributions to help us reach the widest possible consensus in a critical area facing the mobile industry. Smartphones and smartphone applications have established themselves as a major success story in the industry over the past few years. As the number of smartphones and smartphone applications has increased the industry has learnt much on how to create efficient applications for smartphones. The GSMA has created a [24]set of guidelines for application developers that will enable improvements across a number of areas including application connectivity, power consumption, network reliability and security. [24] http://www.gsma.com/technicalprojects/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/gsmasmarterappsforsmarterphones0112v.0.14.pdf By following these guidelines * Developers will be better equipped to create fit-for-purpose apps * Users will experience more responsive and reliable apps and improved battery life * Mobile operators will see a reduced strain on their networks For a copy of these guidelines click on [25]http://www.gsma.com/go/download/?file=gsmasmarterappsfor smarterphones0112v.0.14.pdf [25] http://www.gsma.com/go/download/?file=gsmasmarterappsforsmarterphones0112v.0.14.pdf GSMA intends to issue an update of the above document by end of 2012. As such, it has compiled a list of items for inclusion in the update after consulting GSMA’s members; they include network operators and device manufactures. To ensure the new update will have the widest possible support by all communities across the industry, we have created a Community Group called ‘network friendly Developer guidelines’ under auspices of W3C. The new CG is formed with a view to engage other developers or interested parties and reach a consensus as what needs to be added beyond what has already been proposed by GSMA. The proposed items for inclusion are embedded in this document.

As the update will be released by end of 2012, all changes should be agreed in time before the actual work of writing and editing the document starts in earnest and no later than 15th of June 2012. That means the outcome of activities in the CG would be a list of items for inclusion beyond what has already been proposed by GSMA. The outcome would be considered by GSMA for inclusion when updating the document. === Check out http://www.w3.org/community/networkfriendly/ and join here http://www.w3.org/community/networkfriendly/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http://www.w3.org/community/networkfriendly/join
