Welcome to the Web NFC Community Group

Hi Ethan,

Welcome to the Web NFC Community Group!

This group is specifying a Web NFC API that is browser-friendly and adheres to the Web's security model. We believe that means the API will not expose full, low level NFC functionality, but rather a higher level subset that is safe for Web pages, protects user privacy, and does not annoy users with unnecessary or complex permission requests.

Below I share with you some pointers to get you started in this group.

>From the group's home page [1] you can find relevant resources, namely:

* Charter [2] defines the goals, scope, deliverables
* GitHub [3] is where the spec and supporting documents live:
* Web NFC API [4]
* Use Cases [5]
* Security and Privacy Considerations [6]
* public-web-nfc@w3.org mailing list archived at [7]

If you haven't yet done so, please review the group's Charter and the Web NFC API spec. Note that the group's mailing list [7] is automatically informed of significant activity in GitHub [3], i.e. you do not need to watch the GitHub repo to stay in sync. The GitHub notifications are prefixed with "[web-nfc]".

Please feel free to open issues, add comments, submit pull requests in GitHub, and discuss any ideas on this mailing list.

Looking forward to working with you!

Thanks,

-Anssi (CG chair)
