If you're a consortium member, and you haven't joined the w3c-tech
mailing list, please visit the subscription
form and do so.
I'd like to start the business of the workshop ahead of time: let's
try to cover the background on the various proposals ahead of time,
and narrow the agenda down to the novel issues over the next few
weeks.
Goal
The goal of the workshop is to discover and discuss the pivot
points for interoperability for mobile code systems.
We will prepare a report of our findings for the memebers, edited
by Jim Miller and Dan Connolly, with contributions from workshop
participants.
