On June 23rd, a few people from the Firefox, Safari, IE and Chrome teams met at Microsoft to brainstorm <https://docs.google.com/a/chromium.org/presentation/d/16uP_ofdyXeGXpz4iR1vyi-HDczyAEIH0B3VFI_SxIYY/edit#slide=id.p> [1] about opportunities for better collaboration in improving input-related APIs (where interoperability has historically been relatively poor). Detailed notes from the meeting and links to presentations are here <https://docs.google.com/a/chromium.org/document/d/1Bfcw9iR1SF2VYCXBegbqhbqWMim-ZEd7_iaQODE-RPY/edit#> [2]. We identified the following areas as the most promising, and have agreed to follow up in the relevant W3C lists: Speccing mobile viewport behavior [CSSWG] Exposing the visual viewport (eg. device-fixed) [CSSWG] Future of touch events / pointer events [PEWG/TECG] Hover/active rationalization [CSSWG] Scroll response effects [FXTF/TECG] Fractional scroll offsets [CSSWG] If you've got questions about any specific area, rather than spam this thread please *start a new thread on one of the relevant w3c lists *(and feel free to cc me and Jacob). Overall the mood was quite positive and I'm personally optimistic about the opportunities here. Although we identified some substantial differences in philosophy, I got the impression we all felt the urgency for improving the web platform and recognized that interoperability (and hence collaboration) was essential.
