June was a fairly busy month:

• Went to Sydney for two days to work with Lachlan Hunt on the XBL Primer.
• Finished My PhD confirmation.
• Become a Facebook addict.
• Published Widgets 1.0 Requirements.

July is also going to be pretty intense:

• will try to get the First Public Working Draft of the XBL Primer by the 13th of July.
• Presenting my PhD confirmation on the 25th.
• Going to Melbourne on the 26th to work with Cameron McCormack for two days on a model for the XBL 2.0 Test Suite.

After I come back from Melbourne I go to Oslo for a WAF Face 2 Face to be held at Opera Software.

The Fourth Working Draft of the Widgets 1.0 Requirements has now been published at the w3c.

Next come a lot of research into each requirement and getting the normative wording into the spec. I think I will start with the "low hanging fruit" (the manifest) while I research aspects related to persistent storage.

Today I put in a request for the Widgets 1.0 Requirements to be republished by the W3C. I pretty much completely reworked every aspect of the document. I hope it’s much more clear now as to what is needed from the widgets 1.0 spec. Please send us feedback to public-appformats@w3.org.

What’s new in the document? (more…)
