ISSUE-24: Concern about Gamepad name being unclear

Concern about Gamepad name being unclear

State:
CLOSED
Product:
Raised by:
Scott Graham
Opened on:
2011-10-12
Description:
ap@webkit.org feels that the "Gamepad" name is unclear. We have discussed this (and evolved from "Joystick" to "Gamepad" recently) but noting this issue so that we can perhaps improve if someone thinks of a better, more descriptive name.

(There has been some discussion on the webkit-dev mailing list, e.g. https://lists.webkit.org/pipermail/webkit-dev/2011-October/018252.html, but Alexey is not inclined to discuss with the WG, so I'm noting the issue here for reference.)
