New mailing list for the Web of Things

This is a new mailing list for discussion about the application of Web 
technologies to facilitate the development of applications for the 
Internet of Things, i.e. physical objects and their virtual 
representation. This includes sensors and actuators, as well as physical 
objects tagged with a bar code or NFC. Relevant Web technologies include 
HTTP for accessing RESTful services, and for naming objects as a basis 
for linked data and rich descriptions, and JavaScript APIs for virtual 
objects acting as proxies for real-world objects.

The short term aim is to reach a broad consensus on the scope and 
roadmap for a charter for a W3C Community Group devoted to the Web of 
Things. The draft charter is open for communal editing, and if you would 
like write access, please contact Dave Raggett <dsr@w3.org>.

Follow up emails will cover some ideas for the role of the community 
group. The aim is to finalize the charter and launch the community group 
by the end of July 2013.

Note that anyone subscribed to the list may post to it, as well as 
anyone authorized to post to any other W3C mailing list. This measure is 
intended to reduce the level of spam.
