Platform/2009-Q2-Goals

General Goals

• Ship 1.9.1
• Planning for 1.9.2 completed with clear work items prioritized and resources named.

Layout

• bug 435356 and others - cleanup SVG code to use gfxMatrix/gfxRect etc internally instead of nsIDOMSVG types (code cleanup, performance)
• Remove SVG's SetMatrixPropagation (code cleanup)
• jwatt to get into the SMIL code (not sure what reasonable goals are yet)
• Frame GC of some sort (reduces attackable surface of layout)
• Have a reasonable solution to bug 453827.
• Fix at least 2 user-facing GTK widget issues.

Mac OS X

• Implement the Cocoa NPAPI event model.
• Port at least one more major component to 64-bit Mac OS X (e.g. XPCOM, printing, plugins, GFX/fonts).
• Continue Mac OS X 10.6 seed testing and track any major regressions.

Accessibility

(under construction -- looks like too much for 1 quarter)

• Fix text support of AT APIs
  • Expand tests for nsIAccessibleText and fix bugs as discovered. This will have high impact on the screen reader user experience.
  • ATK text offsets bug gnome-551489 dependency on GNOME involvement.
• ARIA 1.0 compliance:
  • Fix fix live region updates that leak through from currently invisible tab panels 444644
  • Aim for 90% resolution of tracker 343213
  • Seek resolution for mutation RFE 467144 directly or through something like W3C issue. Dependency on agreement with other user agent devs.
• Accessible Table refactor
  • Design accessible table implementation (nsIAccessibleTable?)
  • 386813
• Tree grid and grid support:
  • 367905
  • Implement row accessibles for html:tr elements so they're always created, and test with ATs to see what impact it has.
  • provide suggested specification for: aria tables: level, size, posinset VS own (and what if on html table elements) [aapi]
• Mac Accessibility Performance
  • Caching bug bug 455443
• ARIA action improvements
  • multiple action support (possibly bit flags)
  • nsIAccessibleAction?
