IndieUI: Events and IndieUI: User Context Updated Working Drafts
Published
30 April 2015
<http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4654>
The IndieUI Working Group has published a Working Draft of
"IndieUI: Events 1.0 – Events for User Interface Independence"
and "IndieUI: User Context 1.0 – Contextual Information for
User Interface Independence." These drafts include a reduction
in scope for the 1.0 version of Events, and minor property and
interface changes in User Context. IndieUI: Events defines a
way for different user interactions to be translated into
simple events and communicated to Web applications. IndieUI:
User Context defines a set of preferences that users can choose
to expose to web applications, and an API for user agents to
access the preferences and listen for changes. Both IndieUI
specifications will make it easier for Web applications to work
in a wide range of contexts — different devices (such as mobile
phones and tablets), different assistive technologies (AT),
different user needs. With these technologies, Web application
developers will have a uniform way to design applications that
work for multiple devices and contexts. The IndieUI Working
Group is currently exploring moving this work to other Working
Groups; however, comments on these drafts are still welcomed,
preferably by 29 May 2015. Learn more from the IndieUI
Overview; and read about the Web Accessibility Initiative
(WAI).

<http://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/4663>
The Web Application Security Working Group has published a

user agent correctly store user credentials for future use.

Draft of "UI Events (formerly DOM Level 3 Events)." This
