Web Application Store
1 sponsors
Date Proposed: 2012-02-22
Since the launch of Apple’s App Store in 2008, developers found a market delivery channel that greatly reduced time-to-market and time-to-payment and provided a direct channel to consumers. The result: users started buying more and more smartphones, accessing app stores and downloading billions upon billions of apps. At same reason, web developers are also expressing interest in an app store model for the Web that would enable them to get paid for their efforts without having to abandon Web development in exchange for proprietary silos. The purpose for this Web Application Store community group is to discuss about the web application store, related technologies, and various issues for Open Web Application Store. This Web Application Store CG’s activities include: * Tracking specifications and implementations related to Web Application Store. * Refining use cases to communicate specific needs of Web Application Store. * Discussing technological issues related to Web Apps & Web Application Store * Suggesting refinements or fixes to existing specifications to better meet the needs of the Web Application Development community * Evangelizing specifications to browser vendors. * Documenting how to best use open web standards for Web Application Store * Evangelizing open web standards and best practices for Web Application Store Anyone can join the Web Application Store Community Group

User Identity on the Web
3 sponsors
Date Proposed: 2011-10-30
Dear W3C members, Dear all, Currently, more and more services are created on the web and require information about you, me, all of us... Therefore, users have to give away a lot of information about themselves to many different services. The point is that the users lose control of their identity on the web, by filling a lot of forms (through inscriptions...) etc... Privacy on the Internet is extremely important and my point is : It must remain ! Personal informations are used by services we, sometimes, don't even know about, and it is a real problem ! The aim of this working group would be to think about new ways to identify individuals over the internet using trusted web based identities embedded directly into the core protocols of the web (or else ...). This while maintaining equilibrium between total privacy and providing information when needed, which means, when user wants to. I am aware that it is late, because a lot of information is already on the web, but still I think it is interesting to discuss this with a W3 community group. This group is open to anyone interested and each contribution is always useful and welcome. I hope you will join us and I am sure we will have very interesting discussion !

Future of e-payments
2 sponsors
Date Proposed: 2011-10-13
This group was created to invent and support new and more secure methods for payments over the internet. Using one's credit card is insecure while using online pay through a third party is tedious, costly and not without legal issues. There is a huge demand for secure online paying. It is time to give the people what they want. It is time to turn the browser into a e-wallet.
