The transition to CR was approved by the Director a few weeks ago and the Geolocation API specification has now been published as a Candidate Recommendation: http://www.w3.org/TR/2010/CR-geolocation-API-20100907/ The announcement and call for implementations was posted on www.w3.org yesterday: http://www.w3.org/News/2010#entry-8889 The transition to Proposed Recommendation requires us to demonstrate at least two interoperable implementations of the API, as well as at least two real-world web sites that conform to the normative requirements in section 4.2 of the spec. We will use our published test suite (http://dev.w3.org/geo/api/test-suite/) for this purpose and publish our findings in a test report. The CR period is expected to last two months, but we can probably request the PR transition as soon as we meet the transition requirements. There are of course several web browsers already shipping with Geolocation API support and we should be able to trivially meet the first transition requirement. For the second, finding at least two real-world web sites that meet the privacy-related requirements in section 4.2, we would like to request the help from the working group members and the members of the public mailing list. The "Test for Web Sites" section in the test suite has a list of specific requirements that need to be met in order for a web site to conform to the specification. Thanks, Lars Erik Bolstad Angel Machin
