Generic-sensor based geolocation API?

[dontcallmedom]

Should the group's scope include a revisited Geolocation API based on the Generic Sensor Framework? Should there be some incubated proposal before considering it?

Here's the Geolocation Sensor proposal:

@dontcallmedom, even if we were to incubate this spec in WICG, I'd prefer to have the spec live under the w3c GH org rather than wicg to not need to move the issues around after assumed transition to the DAS WG by the end of the year. Would that be fine? Last time I checked moving issues with all their associated metadata was impossible when migrating repos.

Is https://help.github.com/articles/about-repository-transfers/ enough? Or maybe we can find out how specs like IntersectionObserver were moved.

@xfq, thanks! It seems GitHub has improved its repo transfer process. Given this, I'd be fine hosting this repo under wicg during incubation.

I just proposed the Geolocation Sensor to WICG:
