[wg/webapps] Rechartering Web Applications Group Charter (closing Services Worker WG) #457

Open plehegar opened 6 months ago

plehegar commented 6 months ago

Evaluation

This would address 2 ongoing threads:

The work on Service Workers Working Group has stalled and it's difficult to maintain the current Working Group. The idea is to merge the work on Service Workers within the Web Applications Working Group
We also need to consider revising the success criteria section: [[ In order to advance to Candidate Recommendation and to add features after reaching Candidate Recommendation, each feature is expected to be supported by at least two implementations, which may be judged by factors including existing implementations, expressions of interest, and lack of opposition. ]] from previous charter See also https://github.com/w3c/webappswg/issues/107

(looks like item 2 is getting dropped)

@marcoscaceres will propose a TPAC breakout to follow up.

(some notes from ongoing conversations)

Splitting up WebApps WG into Smaller Focus Groups

easier for people to join
some specs are very active, such as Manifest, Gamepad, good leaders, running regular meetings
some specs like UIEvents, if we can have a dedicated group, it may attract more editing force
problem to solve: same as DAS, too many specs (IP review, refused to give IPR commitment if you are only interested in some of them), we can't chair it properly, not efficient to get consensus, difficult to keep an eye on everything

We should remove the ARIA-related works from the scope, the ARIA WG agreed to take over those specs. [[ The working group also maintains a specification for mapping HTML elements and attributes to platform accessibility APIs, and a separate specification that defines author conformance requirements for setting ARIA attributes. The Working Group does not expect to add any other specifications relating to this matter. ]]

Notes from TPAC:

make Intersection Observer a joint-deliverable with CSSWG or move it to CSSWG
bring in Web Install as a deliverable or part of the Manifest spec

An other point I heard at TPAC: Service Workers might move to Web Performance Working Group.

Update: Moving to Web Performance Working Group doesn't work. We're back at trying to find an editor for the specification :(
