Welcome, Francesco!

Thanks so much for joining the community and pitching in.

Wish I could join you in Zurich (really, I wish I could).

Subject: Device APIs

Hi all,

I'm pretty new here, started contributing in May and will be attending the Doc Sprint in Zurich next Wednesday. I believe in this project and think it will be extremely useful to the web developer community.

I'm a Software Engineer living in Rome, passionate about mobile web development and web standards. Since I work mainly with mobile devices, at the moment I'm contributing for the Device APIs, with Chris' help.

Here are the pages I'm working on:

http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/html/attributes/capture
http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/apis/media_capture_and_streams
http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/apis/image_capture
http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/apis/media_recorder
http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/apis/battery_status
http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/apis/network_information
http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/apis/vibration

I'm going to add examples and keep those pages up to date as W3C standards evolve.

Working on those pages, I noticed that the wiki is still quite tricky to edit, especially for Javascript APIs (dreamt of inline editing..), so I would like to report some issues and suggest enhancements. Is the "Project Management System" project the right place to add these kind of issues?

In the first blog post shepazu said that WebPlatform.org "will feature discussions and script libraries for cutting-edge features at various states of implementation or standardization, with the opportunity to give feedback into the process before the features are locked down".

Well, this would be great!

I'm looking forward to meeting you all in Zurich.

Ciao,
