Candidate Recommendation, PR transition

  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,
