Great! Basically, we just need a plain-text brain-dump from you about how your implementation works and what the APIs. That should be sufficient as a starting point to get the ball rolling. As I've got some experience writing W3C specs, I'm happy to help co-edit. Before starting on an actual spec, the parts we need are: Requirements: a simple list of what the requirements are. (e.g., there must be a means to request the user's attention.) APIs: some IDL (or pseudo code) and a brief description of each of the attribute or method. A description of how you envision notifications play with HTML5's browsing contexts/origin. You might also look at what we originally had in the widget spec (search for "The showNotification() Method" and "The getAttention() Method"): http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/~checkout~/2006/waf/widgets-api/Overview.src.html?rev=1.87&content-type=text/html;%20charset=iso-8859-1 showNotification() was based on some old HTML5 text, which was removed about a year ago. Anyway, please let us know if you need anything else, and we look forward your input! :D Kind regards, Marcos
