In my experience, it's customary for controversial issues like this to be discussed more in detail before entering them onto an official work plan. I'm only casually following the working group mailing list, is there a proposal (or proposals) that outlines a direction for this work? As for the permissions work, I'm not enthused by its presence, and would prefer if it were stricken. I realize at this point that might be unrealistic. Currently, there is no requirement to engage with the groups that might be affected by this work. That must be fixed by adding to the liaison section: a trivial change. Ultimately though, I have serious reservations about the viability of the effort - permissions grants are contextual, and the proposed API fails to address that requirement - but I am happy to engage in discussion to that effect. I don't know what expectations are with respect to chartered items, but if listing on a charter implies some inevitability: a commitment to complete the listed work, I think that I would rather object to its inclusion. _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
