W3C Workshop: The Future of Offline Web Applications

Hi,

As discussed during the call last week, W3C is organizing a workshop on
the future of offline Web applications on November 5 2011 (Saturday of
the TPAC week.)

More details below.

W3C is pleased to announce an upcoming Workshop:

        The Future of Offline Web Applications
        5 November 2011
        Redwood City, CA, USA
        Hosted by Vodafone

The Web has rapidly evolved into a platform suitable for applications
that exhibit a level of richness and interaction that could barely be
envisioned 20 years ago. Word processors, email clients, navigation
systems, and games are just a small sample of applications that are now
a regular part of the Web experience, but there are many types of
applications that are difficult to produce using Web technologies. In
order to facilitate these complex applications move into the Web,
additional functionality is required from the Open Web Platform.

Off-line use of Web applications is one of the key missing elements from
the Web platform that application developers require. The current
fragmentation in this solution space is creating confusion among
would-be WebApp developers and organizations who would otherwise invest
in the Open Web Platform.

The goal of this workshop is to identify a clear path forward for
innovation in the Open Web Platform related to offline Web application
invocation and use.
