[W3C Web Crypto WG] how to progress ?

Dear all,

After the conversation between Harry and Ryan, completed by the recent categorization of bugs done by Harry and clarified by Eric, I understand the following :

-          Implementations of the web crypto seems to be still in debug

-          UAs contributions to the web crypto WG does not seem to be high priority (Mozilla mentioning next months, Google mentioning reduced bandwidth)

We have two paths to progress :

-          One :  we try to deliver something quick, gathering the minimum core of interoperable features (but we will lose our editor who is not supportive to this option) (Ryan, I let you correct if I interpreted wrongly your emails). In that case we answer the developers expectations to have a spec.

-          Two : we give us 5 to 6 months to let implementations being debugged, UA discussing interoperable features and align the Web Crypto API accordingly (we will have to find a way in W3C to adapt the spec timeline, super-limit-chartering aspects, but I am confident we will find a way). In that case we make developer waiting but deliver a wider range of features.

I would like to hear from the WG members preferred *strategy* asap, so that we can analyze with W3C the best way to move forward.

Regards,
Virginie
