(updating subject to reflect actual content of this discussion) Hi, Le mercredi 09 juin 2010 à 06:24 -0700, James Salsman a écrit : > > Yes, as explained and illustrated in the contacts API document: > > http://dev.w3.org/2009/dap/contacts/#user-interaction-guidelines > > What is the difference between a "non-blocking contact search > notification" and a prompt? A prompt is usually modal, asks a question with a few options for the user (à la "yes"/"no") (as documented in the papers referenced from the issue I pointed to). A non-blocking contact search notification doesn't prevent the user from continuing to use the page, and when/if the user decides to follow up on the notification, she gets offered with a search dialog that makes it (hopefully) self-evident that she's about to share contact info, and select what contact info she's going to share. BTW, since most of this is documented in existing issues and specs, I would rather you pointed to what documents you've read up before replying to a response by another question; I know it's not easy to catch up with the pre-existing assumptions of a group that has been on the work for close to a year, but we can't really afford to repeat discussions that have already happened quite a few times unless there are new arguments/positions brought to the table. Regards, Dom
