Announcements / Requests for Help / Discussion Topics
- [Jen] a story about `font-display` and Can I Use
- font-display started going around on Twitter. Lets you control what to do if your fonts aren't loading quickly. FOIC / FOUC / etc.
- Implemented in Fx43, but never actually on-by-default. PR'd against CanIUse to fix their data to show it as behind a flag.
- Also requested listing initial-letter.
- [linclark]: Also, new RDM in DevTools can throttle your connections so you can test this!
- [jweathersby] Evangelists on working groups? other Mozillians' reactions to us on working groups - David Herman (yes!), some questioning of expertise. "Let's bring a web perspective"
- [linclark]: Criteria for evaluating impact on any given working group - influence of groups vary widely. how to judge? e.g. HTML data
- https://wiki.mozilla.org/Standards [dietrich]: let's meet w/W3C shepherd David Baron in HI
- [potch] community groups as a lightweight path into culture and impact on working groups. Potch participates here: https://github.com/WICG/
