The XForms Working Group is primarily chartered as part of the Information and knowledge Domain in order to enable it to complete work on XForms 2.0 and to publish that work under the W3C Patent Policy, as the previous charter (within the W3C Interaction Domain) had expired.
Existing work is therefore to be published and taken to Recommendation. This includes XForms 2.0 and may also include XForms 1.2 if the Working Group feels there is demand.
The schedule here is tentative; however, there already exists a draft for XForms 2.0, so the primary risk factor will be external attention and increased adoption leading to a longer review cycle than expected. This would generally be indicative of a popular technology.
The Group will develop a set of test suites and may look into developing tutorials and other outreach and educational information.
The Working Group may, if needed, update XML Events 2 if needed; it was published as a Note by the XHTML Working Group but may also be referenced by XForms 2.
Furthermore, Forms Working Group expects to follow these W3C Recommendations:
To be successful, the Forms Working Group is expected to have 5 or more active participants for its duration. Effective participation to Forms Working Group is expected to consume one to one day per week for editors. There is no minimum participation requirement for other members. The Forms Working Group will also allocate the necessary resources for building Test Suites for each specification.
Participants are reminded of the Good Standing requirements of the W3C Process.
This group primarily conducts its work on the public mailing lists public-forms@w3.org (archive) and www-forms@w3.org (archive) for public feedback and discussion.
Information about the group (deliverables, participants, face-to-face meetings, teleconferences, etc.) is available from the Forms Working Group home page.
As explained in the Process Document (section 3.3), this group will seek to make decisions when there is consensus. When the Chair puts a question and observes dissent, after due consideration of different opinions, the Chair should record a decision (possibly after a formal vote) and any objections, and move on.
This charter is written in accordance with Section 3.4, Votes of the W3C Process Document and includes no voting procedures beyond what the Process Document requires.
This Working Group operates under the W3C Patent Policy (5 February 2004 Version). To promote the widest adoption of Web standards, W3C seeks to issue Recommendations that can be implemented, according to this policy, on a Royalty-Free basis.
For more information about disclosure obligations for this group, please see the W3C Patent Policy Implementation.
This charter for the Forms Working Group has been created according to section 6.2 of the Process Document. In the event of a conflict between this document or the provisions of any charter and the W3C Process, the W3C Process shall take precedence.
Please also see the previous charter for this group.
