Implementer interest in this spec #111

Closed marcoscaceres closed 5 years ago

marcoscaceres commented 5 years ago

Wondering which browsers have committed to implementing this specification?

This is to help us determine if we keep this in the Charter or if we move this spec to the WICG.

marcoscaceres commented 5 years ago

I'm being told that this specification represents what is interoperable across browsers and that new things moved to https://wicg.github.io/entries-api/

Is that correct? If so, it would be great to update the SoTD or Abstract to reflect the above.

annevk commented 5 years ago

Why would that be in the SotD or Abstract?

marcoscaceres commented 5 years ago

Just to be clear what the spec represents.

annevk commented 5 years ago

I guess I don't really understand, it seems to have a pretty clear Abstract et al, albeit a tad verbose.

marcoscaceres commented 5 years ago

Respectfully, I disagree. Otherwise, I would not have filed the issue.

marcoscaceres commented 5 years ago

To be clear, this issue arose because none of the WG chairs could determine the status or level of interest in this spec. I can appreciate that people involved in the spec might know the status, but it’s unclear to external parties.

marcoscaceres commented 5 years ago

Alternatively is the addition of an implementation report, given that there is a test suite. That would really help.

annevk commented 5 years ago

Since when is any of those part of the Abstract or SotD though?

marcoscaceres commented 5 years ago

Argh, Anne. Stop.

marcoscaceres commented 5 years ago

The implementation report is fairly standard at the top of a spec.

Entries-API itself should probably not exist; it documents some de facto standards but the contents should really be merged into FileAPI and HTML.

"All of them" ? The four major engines all support nearly all of the spec, albeit with some interop issues: https://wpt.fyi/results/FileAPI?label=stable&aligned=true

ok, that’s really useful to know. Maybe we can look at what needs to go into both and start bringing stuff back from entries into this spec.

Also, it would be awesome to have the wpt.fyi link serve as the implementation report link. Helps us easily track status.
