CfC: to publish Web SQL Database as a Working Group Note; deadline November 13
During WebApps's November 1 gathering, participants discussed the Web SQL Database spec: http://www.w3.org/2010/11/01-webapps-minutes.html#item09 As we know, this spec is at an "impasse" as noted in the Status section: [[ http://dev.w3.org/html5/webdatabase/#status-of-this-document This specification has reached an impasse: all interested implementors have used the same SQL backend (Sqlite), but we need multiple independent implementations to proceed along a standardisation path. Until another implementor is interested in implementing this spec, the description of the SQL dialect has been left as simply a reference to Sqlite, which isn't acceptable for a standard. Should you be an implementor interested in implementing an independent SQL backend, please contact the editor so that he can write a specification for the dialect, thus allowing this specification to move forward. ]] As such, participants in the discussions suggested the spec be published as a "Working Group Note" and this is Call for Consensus to do. *Note Well: by publishing a Working Group Note, the group sends a signal to the community that work on this spec has ended* as described in the Process Document: http://www.w3.org/2005/10/Process-20051014/tr.html#q75 As with all of our CfCs, positive response is preferred and encouraged and silence will be assumed to be assent. The deadline for comments is November 13. -Art Barstow Original Message Subject: ACTION-606: Start a CfC to publish Web SQL Database as a Working Group Note (and hence signal the spec is no longer on the REC track) (Web Applications Working Group) Date: Mon, 1 Nov 2010 14:26:07 +0100 From: ext Web Applications Working Group Issue Tracker Reply-To: Web Applications Working Group WG To: Barstow Art (Nokia-CIC/Boston) ACTION-606: Start a CfC to publish Web SQL Database as a Working Group Note (and hence signal the spec is no longer on the REC track) (Web Applications Working Group) http://www.w3.org/2008/webapps/track/actions/606 On: Arthur Barstow Due: 2010-11-08

I am glad to see this after having brought this up last year at TPAC. I support this.

Assuming there is consensus to publish this doc as WG Note ... Are there any normative edits/changes that must be made to the doc before it is published as a WG note? Regarding the non-normative W3C boilerplate (e.g. Status of the Document), Mike Smith indicated he is willing to work with me on those type of edits. -Art Barstow
