FWD: Pointer Events Level 3 (Call for Wide Review)

Hello,

you may have already seen the public announcement calling for 
wide/public review on 
https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-review-announce/2024Mar/0004.html, 
but wanted to explicitly draw this group's attention to it in case you 
haven't. While we originally mentioned an ideal deadline of 12 June 2024 
for feedback, happy to extend this further (seeing that I originally 
relied on the automated announcement, but realising that I should have 
pinged groups explicitly just to be sure).

See the revision history for details on what's changed in the latest 
version 
https://www.w3.org/TR/2018/WD-pointerevents2-20180404/#revision-history

Published by
  Pointer Events Working Group

Abstract

The features in this specification extend or modify those found in 
Pointer Events, a W3C Recommendation that describes events and related 
interfaces for handling hardware agnostic pointer input from devices 
including a mouse, pen, touchscreen, etc. For compatibility with 
existing mouse based content, this specification also describes a 
mapping to fire Mouse Events for other pointer device types.

Status of the Document

This section describes the status of this document at the time of its 
publication. A list of current W3C publications and the latest revision 
of this technical report can be found in the W3C technical reports index 
at https://www.w3.org/TR/.

This specification is an update to [PointerEvents2] which was shipped 
broadly by Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge and Mozilla Firefox. Level 3 
includes editorial clarifications and new features that facilitate more 
use cases, in an effort to enable wider developer and browser adoption.

This document is ready for wide review. Comments are welcome at any time 
but most especially before 12 June 2024.

This document was published by the Pointer Events Working Group as a 
Working Draft using the Recommendation track.

Publication as a Working Draft does not imply endorsement by W3C and its 
Members.

This is a draft document and may be updated, replaced or obsoleted by 
other documents at any time. It is inappropriate to cite this document 
as other than work in progress.

This document was produced by a group operating under the W3C Patent 
Policy. W3C maintains a public list of any patent disclosures made in 
connection with the deliverables of the group; that page also includes 
instructions for disclosing a patent. An individual who has actual 
knowledge of a patent which the individual believes contains Essential 
Claim(s) must disclose the information in accordance with section 6 of 
the W3C Patent Policy.

This document is governed by the 03 November 2023 W3C Process Document.


Many thanks,

Patrick
