Web Bluetooth Community Group Proposed

The Web Bluetooth Community Group has been proposed:

--------------------------------------------------

Bluetooth is a standard for short-range wireless communication between
devices. This group is developing a specification for Bluetooth APIs to
allow websites to communicate with devices in a secure and
privacy-preserving way.


In particular the web Bluetooth API focuses on minimizing the device
attack surface exposed to malicious websites, possibly by removing
access to some existing Bluetooth features that are hard to implement
securely. Further, the API takes the approach of a user interface to
select and approve access to devices as opposed to using certification
and installation.

--------------------------------------------------

You are invited to support the creation of this group:
  http://www.w3.org/community/groups/proposed#web-bluetooth

Once the group has a total of five supporters, it will be launched and
people can join to begin work. Once launched, the group will no longer
be listed as "proposed"; it will appear in the list of current groups:
  http://www.w3.org/community/groups/

In order to support the group, you will need a W3C account. To request one:

If you believe that there is an issue with this group that requires
the attention of the W3C staff, please send us email on
site-comments@w3.org.

Thank you,
W3C Community Development Team
