Topics Bank

CSS Unprefixing Service (and other compat hacks)

Does a whitelist based approach scale to the web?

What other things can be done (standardization efforts, etc.)

UA overrides + Unprefixing Policies

Let's (re)visit the policies, creating them if they don't exist.

UA Override Policy

Site Regression Tooling

Note: Hallvord not here.

It would be good to meet with Fennec + Release Management to discuss this.

We will probably still discuss this, given its importance. Hallvord can either Join via Vidyo or we can send him minutes.

Webcompat.com

Review Portland decisions.

Volunteers contributing to dev

Alexa, Guillaume, Daniel are the main contributors. It would be great if they could come.

1. Check if we can find budget for them (miketaylr is doing that: he has a meeting to discuss with George Roter on Thursday April 2.)
2. Check if they wish/are available for coming.

Volunteers contributing to outreach

Abdul (haseeb) has been helping with outreach.

2. Show off tools or workflows that help you.
3. To make it more effective, the person who is taught need to write a blog post about it.

(People from the) Servo/B2G/Desktop product Teams

We're pretty well connected with the Fennec team. Should we try to develop the same relationships/points of contact with our other browser products friends?
