What to do with the Contacts API? #24

Closed filmaj closed 7 years ago

filmaj commented 7 years ago

According to the W3C Standards JS APIs list, the current implementation of cordova-plugin-contacts looks to be based on the Contacts Manager API.

Under the JS APIs, this one is listed under the "obsolete" section.

This is also from the spec itself:

Members of this Working Group have agreed not to progress the Contacts Manager API specification further as a Recommendation track document, electing instead to publish it as an informative Working Group Note under a permissive license with a view to enabling it to form the basis of further work by others, e.g. in a W3C Community Group.

So no W3C work that I can see is out there tackling providing access to contacts data.

Do we still want to continue supporting this API per the "Working Group Note" the W3C / SysApps group has worked on?

Our users still need contact access. What would be an alternative?

macdonst commented 7 years ago

We do nothing. If our users need contact access they can continue to use the existing plugin or fork the plugin and work on it themselves.

Well that solves that issue then!
