Team Stand-ups

(In <2 mins, what did your team accomplish last week, on what is your team working on this week, and on what, if anything, is your team blocked? No questions during the stand-ups. All questions should be asked during the roundtable.)

DOM (jst/overholt)

We did a bunch of cool stuff this quarter, the notable things that we didn't quite get done are:

• ICC *almost* enabled. Ran into an existing intermittent leak that got more frequent, i.e. we have a better chance of fixing it now!
• Window *almost* converted to WebIDL. We've seen this green on try, but ran into more stuff when merging etc. Really close, would've likely been done now if it wasn't for some unplanned downtime in the team.
• <picture> element up n' running, but not quite there yet.
