Last Call: XMLHttpRequest
19 November 2009 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2009#entry-8660
The Web Applications Working Group has published a Last Call
Working Draft of "XMLHttpRequest." The XMLHttpRequest
specification defines an API that provides scripted client
functionality for transferring data between a client and a
server. It is the ECMAScript HTTP API. Comments are welcome
through 16 December. Learn more about the Rich Web Client
Activity.

First Draft of File API Published
17 November 2009 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2009#entry-8658
The Web Applications Working Group has published the First
Public Working Draft of "File API." This specification
provides an API for representing file objects in web
applications, as well as programmatically selecting them and
accessing their data. This API is designed to be used in
conjunction with other APIs and elements on the web platform,
notably: XMLHttpRequest (e.g. with an overloaded send() method
for File objects), postMessage, DataTransfer (part of the drag
and drop API defined in [HTML5,]) and Web Workers.
Additionally, it should be possible to programmatically obtain
a list of files from the input element [HTML5] when it is in
the File Upload state. These kinds of behaviors are defined in
the appropriate affiliated specifications. Learn more about the
Rich Web Client Activity.

Last Call: Widgets 1.0: The widget Interface
17 November 2009 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2009#entry-8657
The Web Applications Working Group has published a Last Call
Working Draft of "Widgets 1.0: The widget Interface." This
specification defines an application programming interface
(API) for widgets that provides, amongst other things,
functionality for accessing a widget's metadata and
persistently storing data. Comments are welcome through 08
December. Learn more about the Rich Web Client Activity.

Last Call: XML Entity definitions for Characters
17 November 2009 | Archive
http://www.w3.org/News/2009#entry-8656
The Math Working Group has published a Last Call Working Draft
of "XML Entity definitions for Characters." It is difficult to
write science fluently if scientific characters are not
available for use. It is difficult to read science if
corresponding glyphs are not available for presentation. In the
majority of cases it is preferable to store characters directly
as Unicode character data or as XML numeric character
references. However, in some environments it is more convenient
to use the ASCII input mechanism provided by XML entity
references. Many entity names are in common use, and this
specification aims to provide standard mappings to Unicode for
each of these names. It introduces no names that have not
already been used in earlier specifications. Comments are
welcome through 08 December. Learn more about the Math
Activity.

http://www.w3.org/News/2009#entry-8655
The Mobile Web For Social Development (MW4D) Interest Group has
published a Group Note of "Mobile Web for Social Development
Roadmap." This document describes some of the current
challenges of deploying development-oriented services on mobile
phones. It suggests the most promising directions for lowering
barriers to developing, deploying and accessing services on
mobile phones and thereby creating an enabling environment for
more social-oriented services to appear. Learn more about the
Mobile Web Initiative Activity.
