<p> The Geolocation Working Group published the Candidate Recommendation
Working Draft of the <strong>Geolocation API</strong> on 07 September 2010:
</p>
<dl>
<dt><a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2010/CR-geolocation-API-20100907/">Geolocation
API Specification</a></dt>
<dd>Candidate Recommendation, 07 September 2010</dd>
</dl>
<p>Ongoing work is reflected in the public editor's draft:</p>

<h2 id="participate">How to Participate</h2>
<p>Members should <a
href="http://www.w3.org/2004/01/pp-impl/42891/join">join the Geolocation
Working Group</a>, but we do our work in the public, mainly on the mailing
lists.</p>
<p>The main mailing list for the Geolocation Working Group is: <a
href="mailto:public-geolocation@w3.org">public-geolocation@w3.org</a>.
This list is open to the public and also has a <a
href="http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-geolocation/">public
archive</a>. To subscribe or unsubscribe please send mail to <a
href="mailto:public-geolocation-request@w3.org">
public-geolocation-request@w3.org </a> with a subject line of
<code>subscribe</code> or <code>unsubscribe</code>. </p>
<p>There is also an IRC channel dedicated to the Geolocation Working
Group: <code>#geolocation</code> on the W3C IRC server:
<code>irc.w3.org:6665</code></p>
<p>
In addition there is a <a
href="http://cgi.w3.org/MemberAccess/AccessRequest">member-only</a>
mailing list at <a href="mailto:member-geolocation@w3.org">
member-geolocation@w3.org</a> for administrative purposes. This list also
has a <a
href="http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/member-geolocation/">member-only
archive</a>. </p>
<p>The Working Group maintains a <a href="wiki/">Wiki</a> with links to minutes from Face-to-Face meetings and teleconferences. In addition the group uses <a href="track/">Tracker</a> to maintain issue and action item lists.

<h2 id="other-wgs">Relationship with Other W3C Work</h2>
<p>As listed in the <a href="#charter">Geolocation Working Group
Charter</a>, it is expected that we will be interacting with the following
W3C Working Groups.</p>
<dl>
<dt><a href="/2005/MWI/BPWG/">Mobile Web Initiative Best
Practices Working Group</a></dt>
<dd>The Mobile Web Initiative Best Practices Working Group is
responsible for developing best practices for the Web that support
an appropriate user experience on mobile devices. It is expected
that these experiences would benefit from a standardized
Geolocation interface. </dd>
<dt><a href="/2008/webapps/">Web Applications Working
Group</a></dt>
<dd>The Web Applications Working Group is responsible for core Web
APIs, and thus may provide valuable feedback on our documents. We
also expect an overlap in members with this WG.</dd>
<dt><a href="/International/core/">Internationalization Core
Working Group</a></dt>
<dd>There are a number of internationalization issues that we
expect might need review and addressing.</dd>
<dt><a href="/2006/WSC/">Web Security Context Working Group</a></dt>
<dd>The Web Security Context Working Group establishes practices
for secure and usable information on the Web. Given the privacy
and security concerns around location information, the Geolocation
Working Group will be requesting feedback from the Web Security
Context Working Group on a regular basis.</dd>
<dt><a href="/MarkUp/CoordGroup/">Hypertext Coordination
Group</a></dt>
<dd>The Geolocation Working Group will participate in the
Hypertext Coordination Group.</dd>
<dt><a href="/WAI/">Web Accessibility Initiative</a></dt>
<dd>The Geolocation Working Group expects to work directly with
the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) Working Group to
ensure that any accessibility implications inherent to this work
have been taken into account and addressed.</dd>
<dt><a href="/2001/sw/interest/">Semantic Web Interest
Group</a></dt>
<dd>The Semantic Web Interest Group (SWIG) developed a <a
href="/2003/01/geo/">Basic Geo Vocabulary</a>, which was
ultimately handed over to <a
href="/2005/Incubator/geo/">Geospatial Incubator Group</a>.</dd>
