Hi Dan, Peter,
The Web Payments WG is meeting in San Francisco on 23 and 24 February for
our first face to face.
The group is chartered to develop, among other things, a JavaScript API for
the registration of "payment apps" and the request to initiate a payment.
Our FPWD is due in March.
There is a significant amount of work that has been done to date (which I
will summarize for the TAG in an invitation to comment later this week),
however the chairs expect that there will be a number of issues the group
will need to deal with at the face to face that would benefit from the
TAG's input.
Specifically, we expect to deal with issues relating to good API design and
learning from previous API design efforts, catering to an appropriate
audience (web developers), considering the latest patterns employed in
JavaScript development and API design etc. (A quick review of the issue
list [1] will give you some clues).
While we appreciate that it is short notice we are hoping, given that we
will be in San Francisco, in relatively close proximity to many of the TAG
members, that one or more members of will be able (and willing) to attend
the meeting.
Ian and Doug (on copy) are in the best position to answer any logistical
questions should you have any.
Thanks for your help,
Adrian
