 ===Games [1st Tuesday of Month]===
+* As-yet-unnamed benchmark suite
+** Focus on real-world, leaning towards gaming and emscripten
+** Cross browser (Firefox [release/beta/aurora/nightly/tinderbox], Chrome, IE, Safari, Opera)
+** Desktop and mobile
+** Been hoping to deploy soon, but ran into stability issues on mobile that required some rearchitecting.
+** Will send sample results to dev.platform/dev.firefox soon; goal is an arewefastyet-style display for gaming & emscripten work
+** [[http://people.mozilla.com/~vladimir/misc/bench.png result screenshot]]
+* Game porting efforts, .NET -> JS
+** We've been working with Kevin Gadd, author of JSIL, one of the .NET -> JS porting tools
+** Goal is to get various frameworks and tools that use .NET running on the web (e.g. XNA, what a lot of xbox live arcade games are built on top of)
+** Complementing our emscripten porting efforts
+** There are other approaches possible, still evaluating what's best
+* Web Audio
+** Progressing, implementation framework is in place, Ehsan is working to get it to play sounds (via media streams) soon
+* Games triage flags
+** [games:p1/p2/p3] or p? in the whiteboard
+** Vlad will be looking to find owners for the P1s very soon; many of them are in JS-land and are performance things that we at least want to make sure we have ways to reproduce and track
+* Other smaller team projects
+** animation frame rate smoothing
+*** eventually intelligent adaptation based on content
+*** eventually vsync
+** WebGL compositing speedup and optimization
+*** good interaction with OMTC
+*** multi-buffering to remove stalls
+** BananaBread Multiplayer
+*** Currently working to get it working with WebSockets
+*** Once done, will move on to add in Peer to Peer support using WebRTC
+*** Two new levels for capture the flag approved
