Call for participation: Online meeting on Gesture Events Standard in Web

Hello All,
We are planning to organize an online meeting to discuss the proposal of
Gesture Events in Web in the MERGING OF WEB AND MOBILE APP COMMUNITY GROUP[1]. If you have interest to join the discussion, please provide your feedback of your available time
on doodle: https://doodle.com/poll/8acwbp9598uifqgiIntroduction of native app gesture and Gesture Events in web
Smartphone OS normally have Touch and
Gesture as a way to interact with users.  Touch function is used to capture the
information of touch events （e.g. the position of the
touch point etc.）happening on the screen. Gesture function is used to specify users’ more complex interactive
operation with screen, such as pinching, rotating, swiping, double-tapping and
so on. Although Touch is supported by many
platforms and the touch events model has been defined in the W3C Touch Events
specification [2], Gesture are not widely supported currently. Nowadays, gesture events are widely used in web. However, web
developers can only use Touch Events to implement gesture functionalities. They
may have to develop multiple versions of gesture events in order to adapt
different browsers due to the lack of gesture events standard in web. Thus, web
developers always choose to implement the gesture events by importing external toolkits
when they start a new web project. The development effort of
gesture functions for every single browser and learning cost for different API
and parameters of toolkits result in low efficiency. To solve this issue, we propose to define a
Gesture Events standard in W3C, the benefits are:1)    
Web developers can follow this
Gesture Events standard, and deal with gesture events more efficiently without any
additional effort for every single browser.2)    
Developers do not need to learn
different API and parameters of gesture functions’ toolkits.3)    
Users can interact with mobile
web apps more smoothly when using the built-in gesture events.Gesture Events list and use casesEvents list:
