Proposed Group: Offline Web Community Group

The Offline Web Community Group has been proposed by Félix Albertos Marco:

Situations of interrupted work caused by accidental loss of connectivity or by intentional offline work are very frequent. Concerned by the negative effects of interruptions in users’ activities, we are investigating a new approach for the design and development of Web applications resilient to interruptions. In order to help users to recover from interruptions whilst navigating Web sites we propose a model-based approach that combines explicit representation of end-user navigation, local information storage (i.e. Web browser caching mechanism) and polices for client-side adaptation of Web sites.

One of the key elements of our approach is the automatic generation of HTML. This HTML code includes specific attributes for adapting Web pages to cope with offline navigation. The aim of this group is to discuss the use of such us attributes and / or the inclusion of new HTML elements within the standard for supporting offline interaction with web sites resilient to interruptions.

You are invited to support the creation of this group. Once the group has a total of five supporters, it will be launched and people can join to begin work.
Once launched, the group will no longer be listed as “proposed”; it will be in the list of current groups.

In order to support the group, you will need a W3C account.

If you believe that there is an issue with this group that requires the attention of the W3C staff, please send us email on site-comments@w3.org

Thank you,
W3C Community Development Team
