  • component changed from None to App Framework
  • location changed to Library Code
  • owner changed from George to Eric Ferraiuolo
  • priority changed to P3 (normal)

Tis a suggestion potentially for App.

Andrew,

I don't quite get what you're suggesting here. Could you elaborate on what you mean, and also provide a use case?

Thanks.

Hi, if you dig around with the spec, you can see there are a lot of low level calls to create a filesystem, read, write, dealing with directories, etc. YUI excels at creating a unified abstraction for things like this (look at animation) which works across browsers.

So at one level having a YUI abstraction library that would allow an application to create/read/write to the HTML5 filesystem would be gread.

At a second level, having integration with things like the App framework - where a sync might sync with HTML5 filesystem files, or providing features to allow someone to save the state of their application to a file which could be then utilized later.

The gist of this request is to create a YUI abstraction for all the low-level calls that one has to make to use the HTML5 filesystem, and secondarily make this filesystem available to other parts of YUI as a storage/retrieval mechanism.
