Hello, The Gamepad spec has been languishing for some time, and I take responsibility for that. However, on the bright side we have two implementations shipping (Firefox, Chrome), and another shipping in previews (IE) that, while not completely compatible, are usable in a compatible manner, which is a great thing. We've had some spec bugs filed as a result of implementors reading the spec, so those clearly need to be taken care of to finish the spec off. Some of them are small corner cases[1,2,3], while one is a fairly large oversight[4] that I've known about and haven't had time to spec (liveness of Gamepad objects). The latter had significant discussion on the mailing list[5] and I know what I need to do, it's just going to require a fair bit of editing to spec it properly. Additionally, I met with some interested parties a few weeks ago at the Mozilla office and we identified a fairly small spec addition[6] that would help content libraries deal with the biggest interop issue that they currently deal with in practice. I would like to spec this as well before calling the spec done. My goal is to sit down and do some spec editing in the next month or two, finish up the remaining issues, and move the spec forward to match the reality of implementations. -Ted 1. https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=17309 2. https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=25203 3. https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=26203 4. https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=21434 5. http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2014AprJun/0238.html 6. https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=27444
