The CfC to publish W3C Notes for the shelved DAP specifications that had WD publications has completed. Given the support on the DAP call and no disagreement on the list we will publish the Notes using the method suggested by Wayne (see below, thanks again Wayne). The drafts for which we will publish updates will be: * Calendar API * Messaging API * System Information API * Pick Media Intent * Pick Contacts Intent * Web Intents Addendum - Local Services (Given the clear indication of status in the WebIntents Note publication I see no need for an update related to that Note). Anssi, are you able to prepare these Notes for publication? We can either try to publish this Thursday or after TPAC Thursday 21 November, for example. If you need my help let me know. (We cannot publish the week of TPAC (11 Nov - 15 Nov) due to the publication moratorium [1] ) (after this message we can remove public-web-intents from the cc list) thanks regards, Frederick Frederick Hirsch, Nokia Chair, W3C DAP Working Group [1] https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/chairs/2013OctDec/0036.html On Oct 16, 2013, at 7:50 PM, Hirsch Frederick (Nokia-CIC/Boston) wrote: > Wayne Carr suggested (on a DAP thread ** ) another approach that seems appropriate for all the specifications listed in the CfC: > >> on Oct 15, 2013, at 8:13 PM, Wayne Carr <wayne.carr@linux.intel.com> wrote: >> >> There apparently is a simple way to publish a /TR/shortname that indicates the draft is no longer worked on [1]. You can publish a 1/2 page Group Note that just says why the draft isn't being worked on anymore. That has all the previous links to the TR and editor's draft. So you don't have to go through rechecking the previous TR to republish that with the note because you aren't republishing the actual draft in what replaces the /TR/shorname/.
