Open issues on Pointer Events - some triage needed

Dear all,

as discussed, after some inactivity, I'm hoping to get back into gear 
and for the group to push Pointer Events 2 out, as for the most part I 
believe we're in a solid position with some good actual real-world 
browser support. However, there are quite a few issues still open 
against the spec - in many cases, there was initial discussion and 
activity, but it then petered out.

I've gone through and tried to put all issues (51, at the time of 
writing) into some rough "buckets":

* TESTS 
https://github.com/w3c/pointerevents/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Atest
these appear to be mostly related to test framework?

* ENHANCEMENT 
https://github.com/w3c/pointerevents/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Aenhancement
these feel to me like nice-to-have/feature requests that go beyond what 
we're currently aiming for in PE2 (or that would take quite a bit of 
time to flesh out properly at this point)

* QUESTION 
https://github.com/w3c/pointerevents/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Aquestion
a mixed bag of questions/clarifications - these are probably the ones we 
should address most urgently if they relate to anything being vague/unclear

*BUG 
https://github.com/w3c/pointerevents/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Abug
probably the wrong term, but used this for things that are arguably a 
bug in our spec text (i.e. a clear omission)

Now my question: would it be possible for all of us collectively to have 
a look through these issues and to triage them? Keeping in mind we'd 
ideally want to get to a point very soon where everything in scope for 
PE is addressed (with sufficient clarity in spec language), and anything 
that is a new/nice to have/future is deferred for possible PE Level 3 
(whether this happens is still open to discussion).

With a lot of these issues, the material goes quite outside of my 
technical comfort zone, but if you can help me out with a rough outline 
of what the spec may need to say / what needs changing or clarifying, I 
can help out with further wordsmithing.

Do WG members feel it would be good to fall back to regular weekly voice 
calls? Or are we still happy working/coordinating via GitHub?

Let me know,

P
