Re: Date, time, week, month and datetime attributes in the in Firefox

[Ehsan Akhgari]

I also think there is value in implementing this on desktop.

The issue of lack of support for styling form controls is not new, and 
it hurts all form controls.  I wouldn't make the perfect the enemy of 
the good here.

IMO given the number of people who have complained about the lack of
this feature on bug 825294, we should assume it is desirable to have
even if unstylable. If somebody claims otherwise the burden of proof
should be on them to show data that falsifies the assumption.

I'd really recommend talking to web developers rather than guessing at
their needs.

I hear *a lot* of webdevelopers complaining about the lack of ability
to style current controls. But don't take my word for it, do reach out
to developers, we have a developer relations team that I'm sure is
happy to help.

I was going to write almost the exact same thing.

It seemed like there was going to be some action the last time I
brought this up, on firefox-dev:

[Eric Shepherd]

The Web API documentation community meeting, with representatives from
the technical evangelism and the API development teams, will take place
on Thursday at 8 AM Pacific Time (see http://bit.ly/1GghwBR for your

Typical meetings include news about recent API development progress and
future development plans, discussions about what the priorities for
documenting and promoting new Web technologies should be, and the status
of ongoing work to document and evangelize these technologies.

We have an agenda, as well as details on how to join, here:

https://public.etherpad-mozilla.org/p/API-docs-meeting-2015-11-05.

If you have topics you wish to discuss, please feel free to add them to
the agenda.

We look forward to seeing you there!

If you have topics you wish to discuss, please feel free to add them to
the agenda. Also, if you're unable to attend but have information or
suggestions related to APIs on the Web, their documentation, and how we
promote these APIs, please add a note or item to the agenda so we can be
sure to address it, even if you're unable to attend.

Intent to ship: Web Speech API - Synthesis

[Eitan Isaacson]

As of this week, I intend to turn on the speech synthesis API on by default
for the desktop browser. It has been enabled in b2g for the last few years.
Thanks to work by Makoto Kato, and Yash Girdhar, we now have support for
speech in all desktop platforms.

The pref that will be flipped is "media.webspeech.synth.enabled". The bug
tracking speech in desktop platforms is bug 1003439
.

The spec
,
is okay-ish. There are no MDN docs yet, all in due time, I guess.

Cheers,
 Eitan.

There is a template you may want to follow for Intent to ship email.
If there was no Intent to implement email before, probably some
content there should be included as well.
https://wiki.mozilla.org/WebAPI/ExposureGuidelines#Email_templates

I think the main things absent here are: target release, devtools bug,
and other UAs' status.
