Application

Front-end

• Touch events implementation has started
  • Wes is working on front-end, Olli (smaug) is working on platform
  • Matt is editing the W3C Touch Events spec.
  • Test build available in bug 544614 works with Google Maps and other existing sites.
  • Planning to be included in Firefox 6.0 - will likely be single-touch only (like Android WebKit), and limited to the stable parts of the spec. (Multi-touch and newer attributes to come in later versions.)
  • Need to experiment with how to allow sidebar panning without interfering with touch events in content (see bug 441590).
