I've been asked by folks who work on Google Docs about cross-origin shared workers, so I wanted to bring up this issue again -- also in light of the fact that it has been ~6 months :). dave
Re: [workers] Moving the Web Workers spec back to Last Call WD
Hi Ian, All, Given the information below, I think it would be useful to move this spec to a test-ready state. That is, publish it as a Last Call Working Draft now and if there are known issues, document them in the Status of the Document Section. Then, after a fixed review period, if no substantial changes are agreed, the spec can be moved to Candidate Recommendation and work on a test suite can begin. Naturally, if major changes are agreed, the spec will need to return to Working Draft. Are there any objections to doing the above? -Art Barstow On Feb/14/2011 5:18 AM, ext Ian Hickson wrote: On Sat, 12 Feb 2011, Arthur Barstow wrote: Regarding re-publishing the Web Workers spec [ED] as a new Last Call Working Draft ...
