Re: Update on privacy work

Hello,

Thanks for pinging me.
I am going through a very... eventful time recently. I keep my eyes open on
the lists and works.

First of all, if I understand correctly, privacy considerations for
Vibration are accepted. I'm unsure if we should include a detailed
discussion about cross-device, cross-domain and others. Perhaps this should
be included in the sensors that can actually read/interpret data (vibration
"writes").
It is also closed in GH.

For the generic sensors API, I listed [1] and [2] as possible issues that
might need to be addressed ("upstream").

For Ambient Light Sensors, I am waiting for a message indication that the
considerations in Vibration API are fine. Then I go to ALS. Yes, indeed I
would use my report as a blueprint. But I am thinking of something more,
too. We discussed some privacy aspects at [3].

Is there any "delivery" date I should keep in mind for ALS?

I'm also wondering if there may be some other outside-the-box issues, so I
asked Riju if it's possible to test the initial implementation (thanks,
Riju!). Now I need to close my current tasks outside of W3C and proceed to
this as well.


As for the PDF report, I am also wondering if we could lead this to a W3C
Note. Personally, I think this would be an interesting work.
In this case, I am volunteering to be an editor. I would ask for a
co-editor (from DAS and/or PING)?
In this case, we should also come up with recomendations for web authors?
