Hi, Thanks for your e-mail. Regarding your group following WebApps' widget-related specs, I think the easiest way is to subscribe to our Public mail list (public- webapps@w3.org) (see [1]). Please note our latest publication status is provided at [2]. During our January 7 weekly widget voice conference, we briefly discussed [3] your e-mail. One area mentioned that could benefit from an open standard is ZIP (e.g. "ISO ZIP"). -Regards, Art Barstow [1] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/ [2] http://www.w3.org/2008/webapps/wiki/PubStatus [3] http://www.w3.org/2010/01/07-wam-minutes.html#item03 On Dec 29, 2009, at 2:09 AM, ext Innovimax SARL wrote: > Dear the W3C Web Applications WG, > > I am writing on behalf of ISO/IEC JTC1/SC34/WG4, which is responsible > for the maintenance of ISO/IEC 29500 (OOXML). > > WG4 reviewed the working draft "Widgets 1.0: Packaging and > Configuration" with interest.
