Re: Adding Examples to Intent to Implement/Ship Messages
Thanks, I've added it under suggested additions as you mentioned, and also left a note in the intent to ship section. Looking forward to seeing more examples in the future!

Not a bad idea! You can feel free to add it to the wiki page under suggested additions. And remember, they're just guidelines :) On Sat, Oct 21, 2017 at 4:25 AM Philipp Kewisch wrote: > 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.

Adding Examples to Intent to Implement/Ship Messages
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?
