There's nothing to be confused about. Regardless where the
deliverable ends up, whether in the proposed Geolocation WG, or the
WebApps WG, the *discussion list* will be the same:

Well I'm pretty interested in coordinating with Google, Opera and
Mozilla on this and it seems like they were interested in keeping the
work and discussion here. It's true that you announced a new mailing
list but it doesn't seem like anyone here asked for it. If it's going
to be a mailing list for the WebApps WG, then maybe it would be good
for the WG to discuss whether we want a separate list.
I would strongly encourage folks to join and start discussions now,
rather than waiting. A chartering period, with the review from W3C
Management and the Advisory Committee, takes at least 6 weeks, and
that doesn't include the time have preliminary discussions about it
and to write the charter. Hixie indicated that Google did not want
to wait even 2 weeks, and I agree that keeping momentum is a high
priority. Naturally, if Apple wants to wait until the chartering
period is over, that's your prerogative, but it doesn't seem like a
good use of time and energy.
Well, I wasn't that confused about where disucussion should go until
you asked everyone to move discussion to a new list, when folks seemed
happy to have it here.
I sense that, for some reason, people are feeling territorial about
this issue, and I'm not sure why. Can you please articulate what
your concerns about this happening in WebApps are, rather than in a
dedicated WG?
I don't have any concerns about this being in WebApps. I think that
would be a great option.

Maciej
