Web input brainstorming face-to-face notes

On June 23rd, a few people from the Firefox, Safari, IE and Chrome teams
met at Microsoft to brainstorm

[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

[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.
