Re: Welcome to the Native Web Apps Community Group!

Hello!

I represent here, along with @Robin Berjon (as i understand)
 - the friendly (i hope) CG of Augmented Reality
http://www.w3.org/community/ar/

-
I live in Ukraine,
professionally - i'm an UX-UI designer, IT architect,

as a hobby -
developing one of the XCCC (XMPP-Concurrent-Confederation-Consortium,
we think our X3C as accurate as W3C :)
networks (http://primarypad.com/OeMj2ZnZqo)
- http://pyofwave.info/ ;

 working with http://theFNF.org/ for a FreedomBases
 which are essentially - the FreedomBoxes
 (https://www.freedomboxfoundation.org - you might heard about)
on top of which - FreedomNodes that are the Wireless Mesh layer
+ advanced storage system.
Purpose of FreedomBases is - provide the FLOSS with Free like in Freedom,
portable, private or community owned servers which could securely and reliably
host all the personal data, including Augmented Reality's highly-accurate GIS,
and other DB's.

In all my projects (personal or community involved)  - i have a strong position
 for secure, respectful, self-owned persisting of any personal Data,
By that - almost
all my projects are FLOSS :)

I might be too rough on some topics but i always try to respectfully quote
the peoples thoughts, work for Freedom - as i feel it,
 never be abusive or intrude into personal states.

My English syntax - eventually - not so fluent,
so - i could repeat and re-phrase any of my messages,
on demand, please, feel free to demand.

all these - are important topics for W3C AR CG,
so - i'm excited already ..hope the Co-Chairs would support.
I think - our CG's would work together on certain topics.

For me - It's great to see that PhoneGap's,
by that - marvelous FLOSS developer is helping the Native Web Apps
experience - on all the fields.

@Scott Wilson - Nice to meet you here!

I'v read your article -
https://scottbw.wordpress.com/2011/08/25/mozilla-web-api-friend-or-foe/

now -- i add the conclusion of @Marcos Caceres
from a comment on - https://hacks.mozilla.org/2011/08/introducing-webapi/

adding the Mozilla B2G as a great reference platform for WebAPI's,
adding the PhoneGap as a greatest(IMO) among existent -- Native Web Apps
framework

add a Mozilla's clarification article -
https://hacks.mozilla.org/2011/08/more-details-about-the-webapi-effort/

What i see as an equation - is a very nice potential - for a situation
of a further collaboration.)

- What do You think of other initiatives like WAC and it's chances to
work productively with WebAPI
for a one final DAP?
- How do You see the work of this CG among these Groups?

--
PS: @Scott Wilson "open app stores" among other - are in a scope of
Unhosted.org project,
i'm evaluating for FreedomBases, currently,
 what do you think of that project?
Do you see - as a possibility - the creation and promotion in Apache's
community
 - that kind of Stores?
