PAC wishes to solve these issues by providing a user-controlled, pluggable system, where a user can mix and match which services they use for which purposes, and leverage the power of the browser as a user agent to mediate data exchange negotiations with other sites and users. It will build directly off of the Open Web Apps architecture, functioning as a 'headless webapp mediator', exactly as F1 does. Currently, that means that there is a Mozilla-implemented UI which mediates invocations of certain web activities, and various service providers can register with the mediator. Additionally, unlike F1, we may wish to implement our own web services which can provide Profile, Activities, and Contacts. | PAC wishes to solve these issues by providing a user-controlled, pluggable system, where a user can mix and match which services they use for which purposes, and leverage the power of the browser as a user agent to mediate data exchange negotiations with other sites and users.
