I want to get these issues resolved 15:06:13 Olli: I think Gary did land some changes...but not sure how to progress further 15:07:16 Patrick: do we want to contact Gary ? 15:07:44 Olli: Gary and Travis still listed at editors, but neither of them work for their respective employers... 15:08:09 Rob: in my ideal world, we just move everything related to mouse event dispatch, common ancestors, etc in UI events over to PE 15:08:21 Rob: so many algorithms that are tightly coupled... 15:09:22 Patrick: wondering if Philippe might have an idea, as effectively UI events is an orphaned spec... 15:09:53 Mustaq: should we try and move the sections we want into ours, keeping section heads, to try and make references work? 15:10:19 Mustaq: doing the move AND changing the algo will be a lot of work... 15:10:43 Olli: wondering if just moving things would be useful, as they're lacking the actual algorithmic stuff 15:11:13 Rob: i think there's value in moving mouse and wheel events, even as is, into PE. it then allows us to start introducing/adding those algorithms in PE without the location being confusing 15:12:28 Mustaq: we can start, as Rob said, we can move things from UI events to PE as is; or we can work on algos and move things as we go / when each is ready 15:12:43 https://w3c.github.io/uievents/#handle-native-mouse-down-id 15:13:01 Olli: UI events has SOME algorithmic things ... that were added at some point ... 15:13:13 https://w3c.github.io/uievents/#send-click-event-id 15:13:13 https://w3c.github.io/uievents/#handle-native-mouse-move-id 15:13:19 Mustaq: my understanding is that they are still very incomplete 15:17:43 Patrick: maybe the best way forward might be to make a separate branch on PE that we can use to prototype "what would PE with mouse/wheel stuff transplanted from UI events + some algo stuff look like". then in parallel we can have conversations (with Philippe/others?) about how to take this forward - we don't want to wholesale adopt UI events spec, but it should be edited as otherwise there will be confusing bits that are[CUT] 15:17:43 and THAT old spec 15:18:01 Olli: other things like focus event that should be in HTML as that's already covered more there... 15:18:18 Is moving out "auxclick", etc is easy? 15:18:18 https://w3c.github.io/uievents/#event-type-auxclick 15:21:37 ACTION: Patrick to create new branch for prototype PE+UI events bits. check with Philippe what we can do about taking over those bits from orphaned UI events (at TPAC?). check if branches get previews (if not ask Ken) 15:23:06 Patrick: wondering out loud if this would also need to be reflected in our charter, to say that we will cover mouse+wheel etc. Need to check with PLH as well 15:25:34 Patrick: quick note about recharters ... been checking with PLH about where to actually make PR about potential new charter. I'm aware officially our charter runs out 7 Nov, but worst case we get extension and then recharter 15:26:00 TOPIC: Web Platform Tests https://wpt.live/pointerevents/ / https://wpt.fyi/results/pointerevents?label=experimental&label=master&aligned 15:26:31 Patrick: just a heartbeat to check if we're blocked on anything, anything missing? 15:31:08 Olli: there are some tests that fail in all browsers (not just "Harness TIMEOUT" / "Harness ERROR") ... what do we do about those? do we need to investigate? 15:34:28 Patrick: in ideal world, we'd have all green. but reality is usually not that great. but we should investigate the ones that fail on all platforms AND don't have a clear warning triangle or bug against it 15:35:14 Mustaq: as immediate action we can open a ticket on our end that lists the ones to investigate, and we work through them 15:35:35 Olli: there's then also the optional ones... 15:36:02 Mustaq: so for first step just looking at the ones that fail on all platforms, and aren't optional, and don't have a clear reason for failure (e.g. harness) 15:36:19 Olli: then perhaps move on to the ones that only work in one platform 15:37:44 ACTION: Mustaq to make a ticket to list problematic tests with the proper filter 15:37:54 gaston: feel free to reach out to me as well to help with this 15:38:24 Mustaq: related to WPT. Olli did Firefox make an interop submission for PE? 15:38:42 Olli: think we did the same as last time for mobile ... but we'd need something new in the testing framework 15:39:20 Olli: think proposal was specifically about touch, not pan 15:39:36 Mustaq: would be good again at this TPAC to see what's happening (e.g. webdriver support for touch) 15:40:12 mustaq: https://github.com/web-platform-tests/interop/issues/1123 15:42:38 Patrick: Any other issues that cropped up that are important/interesting, anything you need help with at this stage? 15:42:48 [no issues brought up by group] 15:43:01 Patrick: excellent, in that case thank you all as ever, we'll reconvene in two weeks' time 15:43:12 RRSAgent, make logs world-visible 15:43:20 RRSAgent, generate minutes 15:43:21 I have made the request to generate https://www.w3.org/2025/10/08-pointerevents-minutes.html Patrick_H_Lauke 15:45:06 RRSAgent, bye 15:45:06 I see 2 open action items saved in https://www.w3.org/2025/10/08-pointerevents-actions.rdf : 15:45:06 ACTION: Patrick to create new branch for prototype PE+UI events bits. check with Philippe what we can do about taking over those bits from orphaned UI events (at TPAC?). check if branches get previews (if not ask Ken) [1] 15:45:06 recorded in https://www.w3.org/2025/10/08-pointerevents-irc#T15-21-37 15:45:06 ACTION: Mustaq to make a ticket to list problematic tests with the proper filter [2] 15:45:06 recorded in https://www.w3.org/2025/10/08-pointerevents-irc#T15-37-44
