Last Call: Three Widgets Specifications

Author(s) and publish date

Published:: 7 June 2011

The Web Applications Working Group published three Last Call Working Drafts today:

Widget Packaging and XML Configuration, which lets users create full-fledged client-side applications that are authored using technologies such as HTML and then packaged for distribution.
Widget Interface, which defines an API to access a widget's metadata and persistently storing data.
XML Digital Signatures for Widgets, a security mechanism that allows people to digitally sign a widget as a mechanism to ensure continuity of authorship and distributorship.

Comments are welcome through 28 June. Learn more about the Rich Web Client Activity.
