* Sisyphus (JS autoamted test framework) - Modified it to support the 1.9.1 branch and using mercurial repositories for mozilla-central and actionmonkey.  Worked on modifying the known failure format to reduce the size of the known failures file and to make it easier for others to maintain it. Needs to check in a number of changes. [bc]

** The Mozilla Foundation is funding Ben Millard for an [http://projectcerbera.com/blog/2008/05#day29 accessibility-related project] to study how authors use HTML in practice, compare this with the semantics and accessibilty-related features in HTML5, identify any gaps, and help develop realistic ways to fill them.

** The Mozilla Foundation is funding Wellington Fernando de Macedo to help implement in the Mozilla code base server-sent DOM events functionality as specified in HTML5 (building on the work in [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=338583 bug 338583]). This is a project originally proposed for the Google Summer of Code; we thought it was a project worth supporting but didn’t have enough SoC slots to include it as part of that program.
