主题: Call for Editors for Server-sent Events, Web Storage, and Web Workers

Hi, Folks-

This is an active call for editors for the Server-sent Events [1], Web
Storage [2], and Web Workers [3] specifications.  If you are interested in
becoming an editor, with all the rights and responsibilities that go along
with that, please respond on this thread or email us directly at
team-webapps@w3.org.

Previously, Art Barstow asked for an analysis of the current status of these
specs, with regards to LC comments, implementations, test suites, and so
forth; these are typically performed and coordinated by the editor of a
spec, and it's appropriate that someone doing this work would get editor
credit for their effort.

These specs have not made progress along the Recommendation track in some
time, and we want to move them forward to a stable state.  We appreciate and
acknowledge the work the current editor, Ian Hickson, has put into these
specs, but he seems to have indicated that he does not wish to be the one to
drive them forward (which is understandable, given his other commitments,
such as the HTML5 spec).  Ideally, we would prefer that Ian stay on as
active co-editor, but if the logistics don't work out, we may ask the new
co-editor to take on the sole responsibility for finalizing the spec,
including processing comments from the WebApps WG, and from the community at
large.


In the earlier thread, there was a discussion on the logistics and differing
philosophies on spec development; without dwelling on that topic too much,
it's worth stating that stability of a spec is a goal not only for licensing
commitments, but also as a matter of coordination with multiple
implementers, and for development of the entire infrastructure around a
technology, including tests, tutorials, script libraries, and cutting-edge
usage, some of which happens within W3C, and some of which happens in the
wild.  We have an obligation to our community to make clear and consistent
statements on the stability of our documents, because it costs real time,
effort, and money to invest in these technologies.

Secure and efficient specifications are obviously the most important goal,
but pushing out deadlines and changing the spec without clear progress
toward a stable state is frustrating and troublesome for our community.

There is a difference in strategies between Ian's stated approach and W3C's;
both are valid, but W3C has chosen to publish stable snapshots of
specifications in the form of Recommendations, and to release updates to
those technologies as subsequent editions, or to build upon them with new
versions or levels.

This is the expectation in the WebApps WG, so we are calling for active
co-editors who will dedicate themselves to the task of driving these specs
to a stable state in a reasonable and predictable timeframe.
