Notes below archived from etherpad: https://etherpad.mozilla.org/webapi-meetingnotes

== Notes ==
* Service Workers shindig in SF this week
** planning, hacking on fetch
** see https://etherpad.mozilla.org/swwork for ongoing plans
* Ehsan's intern Roshan Vid
** going to work on prerendering in FxOS and desktop \o/
* Web Activities
** W3C (DAP) is interested and it's in their charter
** from what we hear, Google and others are interested
** annevk is planning on beginning on this in August
* Special guests today
** David Bialer (Product Manager for apps, marketplace, etc.)
*** partner API requirements
** Ian Bicking (Engineering Manager in Cloud Services)
*** services requiring DOM APIs
** Myk Melez
*** interested in cross-platform APIs, notably a unified menubar API (like OS X or Unity menus, but unlikely to be of interested on desktop)
*** existing proposal to extend <menu> to use OS menu where possible
*** Myk thinks people are most interested in doing this in standalone (own window, own process, notably Android "ActionBar" (see below)) web apps, not in browser UAs
**** http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/actionbar.html
*** Marcos cautions that the trend with web development has been to maintain unique experiences and avoid too much OS tie-in
*** Myk notes (and Marcos agrees) that there are use cases where native affordances would be useful for web apps; only 2 he knows of right now:
**** on desktop: menu bar
**** on android: action bar
* David B asked on marketplace-dev about having a single link to a web page / a packaged app and re-iterates his question here
** https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mozilla.dev.marketplace/kpX6CyU87wg
** could an app register as a URL handler?
** since no JS possible in emails, have to use custom protocol
** navigator.registerProtocolHandler is possible but seems underused
*** https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/navigator.registerProtocolHandler
** Jonas has a proposal
** Ehsan recommends a thread on dev-webapi since existing proposals and mechanisms likely don't solve the use case David brought up
* Ian notes that they've started another iteration on server side push stuff
