RE: Interested in writing up an initial design for bidirectional WebDriver protocol

Hi folks,

I've published a pair of explainer documents to the MSEdgeExplainers repo (link below). The first document, "webdriver.md" outlines our team's concept for a bidirectional WebDriver protocol and mostly explores how the existing WebDriver feature set might look in a bidirectional world. The next document, "bootstrap-scripts.md" takes a new feature that we touched on at TPAC 2019 and illustrates how that feature might work using the protocol outlined in "webdriver.md". There's also some protocol documentation (work-in-progress) alongside these explainers. I'm looking forward to hearing everyone's thoughts.

Thanks,

Subject: Interested in writing up an initial design for bidirectional WebDriver protocol

Hi folks,

I should have some spare cycles in the near future, and I'd like to take a stab at an initial design for the bidirectional WebDriver protocol. The purpose would be to get the ball rolling and get some early feedback on one possible approach. Would anyone mind if I go ahead with this? It would be in the form of an explainer written in markdown or google doc for now and I'd share it out as soon as it's ready to look at. The idea is not to write a spec draft yet but to put some thoughts on paper and see what others think. How does that sound?

Thanks,
Brandon W.
