Web Application Store Community Group created

W3C has launched the Web Application Store Community Group:
  http://www.w3.org/community/webappstore/

--------------------------------------------------

Since the launch of Apple’s App Store in 2008, developers found a
market delivery channel that greatly reduced time-to-market and
time-to-payment and provided a direct channel to consumers. The result:
users started buying more and more smartphones, accessing app stores and
downloading billions upon billions of apps.


At same reason, web developers are also expressing interest in an app
store model for the Web that would enable them to get paid for their
efforts without having to abandon Web development in exchange for
proprietary silos.


The purpose for this Web Application Store community group is to discuss
about the web application store, related technologies, and various
issues for Open Web Application Store.  


This Web Application Store CG’s activities include:
* Tracking specifications and implementations related to Web Application
Store. 
* Refining use cases to communicate specific needs of Web Application
Store.
* Discussing technological issues related to Web Apps & Web Application
Store 
* Suggesting refinements or fixes to existing specifications to better
meet the needs of the Web Application Development community 
* Evangelizing specifications to browser vendors. 
* Documenting how to best use open web standards for Web Application
Store 
* Evangelizing open web standards and best practices for Web Application
Store


Anyone can join the Web Application Store Community Group.
