Thanks for the summaries Chaals!
Offline storage / databases
The SQL-based Web Database proposal will probably not be
implemented by
major players so is being shifted to a "parked and of historical
interest"
mode while we work on the Web Simple Database proposal from Nikunj. We
also touched on Datacache, and ended with an action for Nikunj to
explain
how it relates to appcache if you have the two running together.
The minutes for the Web Database discussion [1] don't address what we
mean by "parking" Web Database.
I heard Hixie say it should be included in a call for pre-LC comments
thus I included it in the related call on 4 November [2] and members
of the group have an opportunity to raise issues if they think Web
Database is not ready for a LCWD.
However, later in the week, I participated in some hallway
discussions where members of the group said they prefer Web Database
be "parked" by publishing it as a Working Group Note (rather than a
LCWD):
[[

Working Group Note
A Working Group Note is published by a chartered Working Group to
indicate that work has ended on a particular topic. A Working Group
MAY publish a Working Group Note with or without its prior
publication as a Working Draft.
]]
So, when we say we want to "park" Web Database, what do we mean:
publish as LCWD, publish as Working Group note, something else? If
necessary, we can start a CfC on this question.
