[meta] "Intent to implement" - captured some docs on wikimo

[Tantek Çelik]

Having followed the "Intent to implement" emails for a while, and
noticing that there was already an email template for it on wikimo:

https://wiki.mozilla.org/WebAPI/ExposureGuidelines#Intent_to_Implement


I went ahead and wrote up a page about this practice, along with links
to Blink/MS equivalents:

https://wiki.mozilla.org/Intent_to_implement

Hopefully others find this useful.

Feedback and as usual, direct edits/contribution to the page welcome
and encouraged.

Thanks,

Tantek

Will someone be maintaining this page? I'm worried that having an
out-of-date page might create more confusion than information.

Having pages go out of date can certainly be a challenge, hence why
this wiki page is descriptive (citing historical examples and other
external resources), rather than prescriptive.

No additional risk of becoming out of date beyond that from already
existing pages. It's a general good practice to write wiki-pages in
such a future-defensive way.

I'll also add a note about any questions about "intent to ..." should
go to dev-platform to provide direction should anything actually go
out of date and someone is potentially confused.

Thanks,

Tantek

Ah, sorry, I misunderstood the intent of the wiki page. I retract my concern.

Should we add documentation for this to the Developer Guide on MDN? We
cover a lot of the development process there, so it may be wise to
include this information there, unless someone can think of a good
reason not to.
