Apologies for top-posting, but here is the first public working-draft of the W3C manifest spec:
http://w3c.github.io/manifest/ I expect lots to change over the coming weeks. If people want to take part in the discussion, a bunch of us are working on it on the W3C IRC server (irc.w3.org:6665#manifest). Otherwise, repo is here: https://github.com/w3c/manifest Please file any bugs or issues there. Pull requests welcome.
