Gecko 1.9 Roundtable

• Web Compatibility
  • Need to get data; not yet actionable
  • Can look through known bugs that block compatability
  • Reporter tool
  • Add topsite-compat type keyword to bugzilla for bugs that are related to web compatability; maybe topsite-compat? flag, with ?/+/- system
  • List of Gecko deviations from standards (but those are often at odds with web compat)
  • Compare compat/standards behaviour to IE6/7/WebKit/Opera
  • Low-hanging web compat fruit only!
  • Maybe Jay to lead data collection; Vlad to talk to him

• Set focused goals for priority items
  • Numeric goals for each item? (e.g. improve memory footprint by 10%, improve Tp by 20% etc.)
  • Compare numbers relative to other browsers, instead of coming up with an arbitrary (darin has some data) (bz says 30-50% slower than opera 10-50% slower than IE on DHTML perf test)
  • Get numbers for 1.0/1.5/2.0/3.0 - some are on MozillaTest, but for linux -- we need windows numbers
  • (memory image cache size changes caused Tp change from network, but not Tp2 from disk)
  • analyze how we do testing (change the page order to something that resembles a real user's patterns, start using real-world type profiles instead of clean profiles, update Tp set)
  • schrep to get things going

Firefox 3

• We need Firefox3 demands from Gecko as input into the Gecko 1.9 focus list
