Notes

• Q3 L20n goal summary
  • Evaluating JSON support
  • Code optimization
  • Trigger discussion with tool authors on how to create a UI paradigm to expose richness of l20n

• Code optimization
  • Initial code optimizations did not bring us as much Pike thought
  • Inlining to remove function call overhead wasn't as fast as we thought
  • Tracing turned on was slower than when it was turned off
  • Gandalf's ideas about performance:
    • Tweaking Firebug
    • Give to Jquery team to take a look at it
    • Use Venkman
    • Set up meeting with JS Team
    • l20n-test...
    • A tweak of the test by Gandalf with Venkman profiler turned on.

• Evaluating JSON support
  • Need to get test case more realistic to resolve a few variables before we start a thorough evaluation of JSON
  • Using JS expressions
    • Evaluate the code as JS and not trigger the l20n parser
    • Could be tricky with subtleties that are useful to have in practice

To-dos

• Get better ideas on current profiling results by evaluating Firebug and also comparing to Venkmann
  • A tweak of the test by Gandalf with Venkman profiler turned on to start the comparison.
    • Very hard to compare these results against the Firebug profile.
    • Gandalf will try l20n.js
• Get further feedback on code from JS and Jquery team
• Investigate Hg issue for jhiatt, consider WONTFIX-ing bug
