Gecko 1.9 Roundtable

- Performance testing meeting following this meeting
- Things not on our current feature lists, that may be needed for Firefox 3
- full-text indexing for sqlite/mozStorage
- Do we expose this to DOM Storage?
- microformat detection services
- myk/dmose to look into it
- XUL prettyfication
- gradients with CSS using cairo
- transparency effects
- simple animation elements
- single-direction percentage-based layout (same direction as your parent box)
- need actual use cases for all of these
- web services as content handlers
- need to work with Hixie's spec (URI protocol and mime types)
- can we do microformats in this same framework?
- tab drag and drop between windows
- detach/reattach views?
- docshell code sucks; need to talk to bz
- not going to try to do this for 1.9; need to reevaluate after we get rid of widgets/views, but we're not going to plan on doing this
- chrome overlays inside content
- e.g. in-page microformat UI (use XBL to attach to some already existing part of the dom)
- overlaying images with chrome to do things like block that image
- full-text indexing for sqlite/mozStorage
- roc view/widget removal
- land old patch to see current performance impact
Firefox 3
- I posted to dev.apps.firefox about gathering user problems, but it might get ratholey :(
- I also proposed a new format for describing themes for data collection which sherman is moving over to a wiki
- we need to start moving on these data collection activities *now* in order to help us generate and prioritize requirements for Firefox 3 and beyond
- I'm trying to come up with ways of driving out requirements (both front end and gecko) which are based on actual user needs and problems; will have something shortly to share.
