It's clear the task force has been inactive, and with no deliverable in
the charter I will send a +1 on closing.


Having been under a flood of other stuff I haven't been around much for
a while now.  Can someone comment on _why_ the Web Intents work faded
away?   Checking back in the web intents mail archives, I see Ian Dunlop
asked this question a year ago and never got an answer. In Tizen we
certainly use a system for web apps that is conceptually what web
intents are for, and find it very useful - but it's homegrown and thus
code using it is not portable.
