Wide review tracker

About

This is a meta issue to track wide review for the Web Neural Network API.

An important part of wide review is horizontal review from W3C's key horizontal groups listed below. Also feedback from other stakeholders is equally important and we're documenting some of such signals in this issue too. Additional pointers are welcome via comments.

🟢 📐 Architecture

• Ask the TAG for review; see how to work with the TAG
  • full review Web Neural Network API w3ctag/design-reviews#570 completed
  • delta review Delta review (to CR) of Web Neural Network API w3ctag/design-reviews#771 (Oct'21-Sep'22)
  • delta review 2 Updated review of WebNN API w3ctag/design-reviews#933 (Mar'23-Mar'24) - NB: any additional off-cycle feedback is also considered by the group as per our commitment for close coordination with horizontal groups
  • If you are developing javascript APIs you may also want to ask public-script-coord@w3.org, a technical discussion list shared by W3C and ECMA's TC 39

Other stakeholders

From who to ask for review:

Horizontal reviews [...] are only a subset of a full wide review, which must also include other stakeholders including Web developers, technology providers and implementers not active in the Working Group, external groups and standards organizations working on related areas, etc.

🟢 WebGPU Working Group gpuweb/gpuweb#2500

• Positive feedback received at the GPU Web F2F meeting 2023-02-16 (Member-only), see also WebML WG 2023-03-02 meeting minutes

🟢 Web developers: TensorFlow.js support, Microsoft DevRel positive signals

🟢 Broader community: workshop recommendation

🟢 Implementers: positive signals, Chromium Intent to Prototype

Per our discussion in https://www.w3.org/2024/01/25-webmachinelearning-minutes.html#t01 I have initiated Architecture/TAG and Privacy delta wide reviews highlighting relevant new information since their previous review and informed also other horizontal groups (a11y, i18n, Security) of our plan to publish a new CR Snapshot during Q1'24.

I piggypacked on the existing review issues, links below. Thanks to the WG for inputs reflected in these requests. I will bring concrete feedback from these reviews to the attention of the WG for deliberation.
