Hey Folks,
One thing I've often been thinking when reading the Intent to
Ship/Implement emails is "Hey, that sounds interesting, I wonder what
that is and how I can use it".
The spec and bug is usually linked, so I can go ahead and take a look at
the spec, but what would make reading email a lot easier for me is a
short summary of what the spec does and an example how it can be used.
For example, the pointer events spec recently had an Intent to Ship. As
I haven't read about it earlier, all I know is that the name suggests it
has something to do with the mouse, but until I skim the first few
screens of the spec until Example 1, I am not sure what it does. The
following info would have been helpful:
"""
Pointer Events are like mouse events, but more general. It provides
similar information for devices like touchscreens, pen input, etc. Here
is a simple example:
window.addEventListener("pointerdown", function(event) {
console.log(event.pointerType); // "pen", "mouse", etc.
console.log(event.width); // width of contact geometry
});
"""
Do others think this information would be helpful, and if so, can we get
this added to the process for Intent to Ship and Intent to Implement?
Philipp
