Mozilla's efforts in Web Activities are two-fold: | |||
* [[WebActions]] -- Web Actions are simple actions that people do from one site across to another site. Web Actions are being developed based on existing real world publishing examples, user interfaces, and service provider best practices. | |||
* [[WebAPI/WebActivities]] - Web Activities is a counter-proposal to Google Web Intents. Web Activities limit the scope of the API to the use case of: APP A wants to delegate an activity to APP B. Web Activities isn't a discovery API nor a communication API. | |||
The remainder of this document has some historical information about Web Activities. | |||

'''This document provides a high level overview and status of Web Activities as of Feb 1 2012.''' | |||
'''For recent efforts see: [[WebActions]] and [[WebAPI/WebActivities]].''' | |||
Web Activities was originally implemented within the scope of the Open Web Apps project, and is currently used as the foundation for F1/Share. As the scope of the Open Web Apps project crystallized and product delivery was planned, Web Activities was temporarily sidelined with the intent to return to it later. The code is in working state, has been privacy and security reviewed, and released in Q3 as a part of the base code in F1, now known as Firefox Share, though Web Activities API is not provided to content. | Web Activities was originally implemented within the scope of the Open Web Apps project, and is currently used as the foundation for F1/Share.
