Dan, Jo, MWBP WG, On June 25 the Web Applications WG published a Last Call Working Draft of the Widgets 1.0 Requirements document: [[ <http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/WD-widgets-reqs-20080625/> Abstract: This document lists the design goals and requirements that a specification would need to address in order to standardize various aspects of widgets. Widgets are small client-side Web applications for displaying and updating remote data, that are packaged in a way to allow download and installation on a client machine, mobile phone, or mobile Internet device. Typical examples of widgets include clocks, CPU gauges, sticky notes, battery-life indicators, games, and those that make use of Web services, like weather forecasters, news readers, email checkers, photo albums and currency converters. Introduction: A widget is an interactive single purpose application for displaying and/or updating local data or data on the Web, packaged in a way to allow a single download and installation on a user's machine or mobile device. A widget may run as a stand alone application (meaning it can run outside of a Web browser), or may be embedded into a Web document. In this document, the runtime environment on which a widget is run is referred to as a widget user agent and a running widget is referred to as an instantiated widget. Prior to instantiation, a widget exists as a widget resource. For more information about widgets, see the Widget Landscape document. ]] We would appreciate any comments your WG has on this LC document, especially those requirements relevant to your WG's domain/scope. The comment period ends 1 August 2008. -Regards, Art Barstow
