W3C Invites Implementations of Widgets 1.0: Packaging and Configuration
The Web Applications Working Group invites implementation of the
Candidate Recommendation of "Widgets 1.0: Packaging and
Configuration." This specification standardizes a packaging format
for software known as widgets. Widgets are client-side applications
that are authored using Web standards, but whose content can also be
embedded into Web documents. The specification relies on PKWare's
Zip specification as the archive format, XML as a configuration
document format, and a series of steps that runtimes follow when
processing and verifying various aspects of a package. The packaging
format acts as a container for files used by a widget. The Working
Group plans to develop a test suite during the Candidate
Recommendation phase. Learn more about the Rich Web Client Activity.

Flexible Box Layout Module First Draft Published
The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) Working Group has published the

provides an additional layout system alongside the ones already in
CSS. This model is based on the box model in the XUL user-interface
language. Learn more about the Style Activity.
