Hi All - I've been thinking about "who is going to do what and when?" re AppCache.NG, and below is a series of related Q&As. As I worked through a plan and next steps, I started to think that since it could be unwise or even potentially harmful to extract AppCache from HTML5, I concluded it may be best to make AppCache.NG a joint deliverable between WebApps and HTMLWG. As such, my Q&As reflect a joint deliverable for AppCache.NG. Please let me know your thoughts on these points, especially the relationship between these two groups for AppCache.NG. -Thanks, AB P.S. I didn't cross-post this to the CG or the two WGs since this is basically a strawman proposal to see if "I heard what you heard" last week. However, if you want to forward this to any of those lists, that's fine with me. <Q&A> * What is the status of AppCache for the HTMLWG's HTML5.REC-track spec? AppCache will be marked as a Feature At Risk in HTML5.REC-track. * Where will work on UCs and Requirements for AppCache.NG be done? UCs and Reqs work for AppCache.NG will be lead by the Fixing AppCache CG using their public-fixing-appcache list. We expect that work to be direct input into the specification of AppCache.NG. * Currently, are there any concrete proposal(s) for the AppCache.NG spec? No, although Jonas Sicking indicated he will make a proposal. * Which WG will lead the specification of AppCache.NG? WebApps (see #WebApps-mins and #HTMLWG-mins). * Which e-mail list will be used for technical discussion about the AppCache.NG spec? public-webapps (Subject: prefix [appcache]). * Will the AppCache.NG spec be included in HTML5.REC-track or in a standalone Extension spec? This depends on a number of factors including when AppCache.NG is stable, its level of implementation, its level of interoperability, etc. * Which WG will publish AppCache.NG? WebApps & HTMLWG will jointly publish AppCache.NG since it will be a joint deliverable between the two groups. * Will WebApps need a charter update to formally add AppCache? Yes (see #WebApps-charter). * Will AppCache.NG be identified as a joint deliverable in both WebApps' and HTMLWG's charters? Yes. #WebApps-mins <http://www.w3.org/2012/10/30-webapps-minutes.html#item06> #HTMLWG-mins <http://www.w3.org/2012/11/01-html-wg-minutes.html#item02> #WebApps-charter <http://www.w3.org/2012/webapps/charter/> </Q&A>
