MiniApp Widget Plan

Phase I: Standard scope (2019 Q4)

• Complete W3C Widget-related investigation of standards and requirements
• Determine the scope and research direction of Widgets, and provide possible research points in each specific research direction, such as
  • Widget applicable scenarios and operating environment
  • Confirm the research direction that Widget needs to focus on. Possible forms include manifest, life cycle, description URL, web API, host API, communication with MiniApp, etc.

Phase II: Feasibility Analysis and Detail Study (2020 Q1 Q2)
Preliminary research to determine the necessity of each research direction, perform study on the confirmed research direction, output document, and review

• Discussion within the group, determine the necessity and technical feasibility and prioritization of each research point, eliminate research points that have not reached consensus, provide completion time and drafter for each research point
• Completion of the requirements for cross-research directions involving external groups, referencing the corresponding groups by means of joint meetings between groups
• Completion of the study for the MiniApp Widget specific area

Phase III: Report drafting (2020 Q3)

• Complete the report & review according to the plan
  • Complete background description
  • Complete Widget scope description
  • Complete the details for each research point
• Analysis and solution for issues spotted during review

Update the URI in the explainer

The URI in the explainer needs to be updated to conform to the new version of the Addressing spec.

Suggestions to expand the usage scenarios and clarify how to use Miniapp Widget

1. I understand that the MiniApp Widget spec will standardize a special presentation of MiniApp. The MiniApp Widget should not be limited to mobile os(smart assistant), but also be displayed on any MiniApp platforms such as IoT devices and host Apps.

2. There is no description about how MiniApp developers can develop MiniApp widget in the requirement. Maybe we should add interface descriptions and more use cases to show that the presentation and development of the MiniApp widget.
