Kyle Foster [https://twitter.com/hkfoster/status/438377416017592320 tweeted]: "Someone make a tool that checks my CSS file against the Can I Use database and reports my browser compatibility."


The tool could also report what changes to the CSS would make it more compatible with most "bang for the buck" - i.e. removing x:foo could increase your reach from 60% of browsers to 75%. Potentially on [http://webcompat.com webcompat.com].
Web Compatibility is wide. There are many possible projects around this topics. You may want to take a look at [[Compatibility/Goals|our quarterly goals list]] too.

Site Interventions

  • owner: Dennis Schubert

We are hotfixing some Websites for webcompat issues. Outreach is taking a long time and is not always fruitful. While we continue to try to contact important sites, we sometimes need also to patch them so the users have a good experience in the meantime.

Site Interventions Automated Test Suite

  • owner: Thomas Wisniewski, James Graham

Site Interventions need to be tested automatically.

Machine Learning Bot for Webcompat triage

  • owner: Ksenia Berezina

We receive a lot of bugs on webcompat.com, A team of two persons is currently triaging them with the help of a Webcompat Machine Learning Bot @@link to documentation@@. The bot will identify valid and invalid issues and accelerate the triage.

WebCompat.com Web site

  • owner: Ksenia Berezina

A cross browser issue reporting Web site has been created and is maintained on GitHub. Developed in Python, JavaScript.

The project has a certain number of keywords that are worth documenting.
