I think there needs to be a section on web application packaging and metadata referencing W3C Widgets: Packaging and Configuration [1]; an issue identified in several submissions to the Future of Offline Web Applications meeting was competing non-interoperable packaging formats affecting TV/STB web app deployment. Some vendors are already using similar packaging formats (e.g Samsung's smart TV profile); there is also work taking place in the Webinos[2] project on extending W3C Widgets for TV applications. > - how do we address evaluation of performances? > http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/webtv/raw-file/tip/tvprofile/tv.html#performances > - what kind of input methods should be considered? > http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/webtv/raw-file/tip/tvprofile/tv.html#input-methods I think traditional Remote Control input methods are a basic requirement for TV-based apps, as are virtual keyboards (most TV interfaces use both in combination).
