Topics Bank

Hacking on Firefox

1) How to build Firefox 2) How to use Git to write a patch and get it reviewed, landed, etc.

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.

Failures and Success

What's going well, what could we improve on webcompat.com

Plan for site localization

See https://github.com/webcompat/webcompat.com/issues/109

MetaCompat: Improve compatibility between WebCompat and Bugzilla

Problem

Similar compatibility issues are currently stored in two places: WebCompat/GitHub and the wiki/Bugzilla. E.g. for Japan: [WebCompat] and [wiki]/[BugZilla]

WebCompat benefit: custom made for compatibility issues. Bugzilla benefit: has nice categorization.

Ideas
  1. Leave things as they are - it's not that bad.
  2. Manually add Bugzilla issues to WebCompat and build categorization feature.
  3. Scrape wiki/Bugzilla page (e.g. YQL) and import to WebCompat.
  4. Other

Note: Mike already has a python script which might be a solution.

Tools and workflow

  1. Let's teach each other how to be more efficient or learn new things.
  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.

Webcompat "PR": articles, talks, etc.

  • What did we publish this year?
  • Where did we talk?
  • What do we want for 2015?

Presentation materials for talks/workshops

  • Do we need a slideset if we do not talk anymore that much?
  • Should we be talking more?

Web Compatibility and workload increase

  • Acknowledging the work we do on Desktop component
  • Acknowledging the webcompat.com work done outside of webcompat
  • Dashboard for participants (contributors and employees)

Joint meetings

List here who we want to meet

  • MattN from the password manager team would like to discuss reporting of password manager issues.

BizDev

Presentation on what is Web Compatibility, what is it doing, what are the issues around UA customizations.

Release Engineering

To discuss automated approaches to site regression testing for releases.

(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?
