Hello,we're seeing an increasing amount of interest in using Web technologies (i.e., HTML, JavaScript and friends) as a platform for software development outside the browser sandbox. The mobile sector seems particularly keen to use this environment as a portable runtime for all kinds of software.
With that interest comes an increasing amount of pressure to add and standardize all kinds of APIs (from address books and telephone modules to geolocation [the latter is the topic of a recently-started working group]), and to come up with a useful model for controlling access to these APIs -- both in the browser and widget cases.
We're workshopping the topic on 10/11 December in London; position papers (1-5 pages) are due by 30 October.
Call for participation: http://www.w3.org/2008/security-ws/Dominique Hazaël-Massieux (copied on this message) is the Team contact for this workshop; if you have any questions, feel free to contact him or me.
