The Web Intents Task Force works on a joint deliverable of the WebApps
and Device APIs WGs that aims to produce a way for web applications to
register themselves as handlers for services, and for other web 
applications to interact with such services (which may have been 
registered through Intents or in other implementation-specific manners)
through simple requests brokered by the user agent (a system commonly 
known as Intents, or Activities).

The mailing list on which the TF's discussions take place is 
public-intents@w3.org. The chair is Robin Berjon.

Operational modalities such as whether or not to have phone and/or face
to face meetings, as well as where to store the draft document are left
to the TF to decide for itself. Decisions are made by consensus inside 
of the task force and do not require separate ratification by the wider
groups.

It is important to note that until such a time as the WebApps WG is
rechartered with Intents in its list of deliverables, it will be
necessary for participants in WebApps who are not in Device APIs and
wish to make substantive contributions (just joining the discussion and
providing comments is always fine) to make an RF commitment for this 
deliverable (not necessarily for other DAP deliverables, naturally).
