Hi all - Just a quick note of introduction. I work at Telefónica where I am the W3C Advisory Committee representative and I am also co-chairing the Technical Architecture Group (http://www.w3.org/tag/). I co-chaired (with Jo) the Mobile Web Best Practices group which some of you have participated in. At Telefónica, I am active in the Firefox OS project. I have a long time interest in the Web on mobile devices, dating back to 1998 when I worked with devices such as the Palm VII. One potential work item I would like to suggest for this group: encouraging the adoption of APIs which are already well-along the standardization track but are not yet being shipped by key browser makers in the industry. The battery management API comes to mind as a good example. It's in CR (http://www.w3.org/TR/battery-status/) and it's implemented in Firefox (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Navigator.battery) but it's not implemented yet in anything else. Can this group take up the cause of naming and shaming browser makers who are not choosing to implement these APIs and thereby hold the Web back? Dan
