Re: [slightlyoff/ServiceWorker] Expose GeoLocation to workers (#745)

@LJWatson I am more than happy to disappear permanently from this mutual admiration society back to whence I came! I do not get paid for my time, so often wasted, here and while it can be fun, I don't get my jollies out of this sort of stuff.

All I want is progress on the two (and *only* 2) issues I've been banging on about for the last 6 months: -

1) Background GeoLocation. The world needs this yesterday!
2) Client-driven, Push-Manager mapped, Application Server unburdened, broadcast notifications

This repo deals directly with (1). The issues are well-known. ServiceWorkers are the implementation paradigm. The details can be bashed out in a couple of weeks’ Google Groups interaction and then the spec-writers can get to work.

Why is nothing happening???

* The key word "MUST" is to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].

. You MUST engage with the industry user-base and software-vendors in the formulation of requirements before proposing standards.

. You MUST be agile in allowing for continual and iterative review and progressive input to specifications.

. You MUST publish design direction as soon as available so incorrect assumptions can be discovered.

. You MUST not deliver a fete accompli accepting no more than grammatical corrections.

. You MUST not seek to own a specification nor personal aggrandisement. It's about results!

. Your specification delivery times MUST be quartered.

. You MUST accept the umpire’s decision on abject failures such as https://github.com/w3c/geofencing-api and not subvert the decision like some deluded sook who voted for Brexit: STAY

. You MUST not attempt to fool all the people that navigator.requestWakeLock(“screen”) is the solution to the Background GeoLocation conundrum!

Leonie, it's just that I am not used to having work farmed out to autonomous-collectives that are seemingly accountable to no one but themselves, and get to cherry-pick assignments as the mood arises. Without any recourse options available, my frustration levels have to peak :-(

> There are good people working on this spec

Can you please be more specific? The “ServiceWorker” spec? The “Background GeoLocation” spec? I know you’ve got heaps of good people available. Can we please get some on Background GeoLocation?

> and it is the responsibility of the WPWG co-chairs to make sure that our part of the community is able to collaborate and converse positively. 

Don’t bother to veil that threat Leonie. Imelda has already gotten me blackballed by stalking me around the Internet, silencing a dissenting voice, and interfering with my ability to eke out a living in the industry. I guess the W3C/Mozilla tentacles get everywhere :-( Why don’t you just turf me out of my wheelchair and kick me in the guts while you’re at it? “Let’s see how far you get in the standards industry now smart-arse.” At least you were “polite”.

So rather than indulge, empathize with, or even pity my Tourette-esque mental health issues you choose to hack me down instead. Truly some of the ugliest people I‘ve come across in a long time :-(
