martin: I got some feedbacks from a few dev events back in July
… interest from the Servo browser
… good to have some browsers in the field

xiaoqian: which of our specs are ready for implementation?

Dan: Addressing is ready unless there is FO

martin: and most of the Manifest and the Packaging
… there were feedbacks about improving security, in discussion with the TAG
… Manifest is solid
… there is another issue about aligning with other specs about change of names, should be resolved very quickly
… also a minor issue with the id
… a proposal about content security policy

xiaoqian: this will be a good topic for Panel Discussion 1

martin: otherwise, not much news on Manifest and Packaging
… thinking about some mechanism to improve the security model and permission
… like in the dev console
… good to include other vendors' mechanism as well if there is any
… UAs need to consider how to prevent the potential risks
… using https and digital signatures
… to indicate where you are downloading the resources from

QingAn: we received a few feedback from our product team recently, there might be changes
… we may heard more details in next week's vendors' meet-up

Dan: could you introduce how to implement the Lifecycle spec in next week's meeting?

QingAn: it's challenging, because the gaps in each platform

Martin: it's understandable
… that's why it's important to start the implementation asap

… I've sent a CfC for the FPWD
