Dear WAI Interest Group Participants, An updated Working Draft of IndieUI: Events includes new events and a refined technical model. It is available at: http://www.w3.org/TR/indie-ui-events/ "IndieUI" - Independent User Interface - helps web applications work better with different devices (such as mobile phones and tablets), different assistive technologies (AT), and different user needs. With IndieUI, web application developers will have a uniform way to design applications that work for multiple devices and contexts. IndieUI includes two technical specifications: IndieUI Events and IndieUI User Context. IndieUI: Events defines a way for different user interactions to be translated into simple events and communicated to web applications. For example, if a user wants to scroll down a page, they might use their finger on a touch screen, or click a scroll bar with a mouse, or use a scroll wheel, or say "scroll down" with a voice command. With IndieUI, these are all sent to the web app as simply: scroll down. Updates: Information on recent and upcoming updates to the IndieUI: Events Working Draft is available from: * Appendix B. Normative changes since the last public working draft <http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/WD-indie-ui-events-20150115/#changelog> * Open issues and actions tracker <http://www.w3.org/WAI/IndieUI/track/products/2> -- lists open issues & actions, and links to closed issues & actions, which are the basis for most of the previous and upcoming updates * Open items in W3C Bugzilla for IndieUI: Events <https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/buglist.cgi?component=IndieUI%3A%20Events&product=IndieUI&version=1.0>, where newer issues and public comments are tracked * Editors' Draft of IndieUI: Events <http://w3c.github.io/indie-ui/indie-ui-events.html> -- will have in-progress work after this publication (that might include early ideas that are not yet well developed, vetted, or approved) Comments: Please send any comments on this draft to the publicly-archived e-mail list: public-indie-ui-comments@w3.org by 13 February 2015 Learn more: To learn about IndieUI, see the Overview page at: http://www.w3.org/WAI/intro/indieui (short: http://bit.ly/IndieUIo) Requirements for IndieUI are at: http://www.w3.org/TR/indie-ui-requirements/ To learn more about this work and how you can get involved, see "IndieUI: Events expands user interface interactions" blog post at: http://www.w3.org/QA/2013/01/indie-ui_events_fpwd To learn about other work related to mobile accessibility, see: http://www.w3.org/WAI/mobile/ URI: The first URI above goes to the latest version of the specification.
