Lower fruit

  • Improve video performance - profiling and fixing problems
  • better qcms ICCv4 support
  • CSS 3D transforms
    • bjacob: I'm comfortable with matrix math

Medium sized

  • border support in layers (9 part layers) - this should let us hardware accelerate border type effects better
  • cairo-gstate-backend for quartz and D2D
  • accelerated layers on linux
    • bjacob: Interested in that. Willing to do testing and working with upstream too.
  • switch away from xlib to cairo-gl and image backends on linux (note: the size of this item depends a lot on the current status of cairo-gl: how much do we need to fix it ourselves?)
    • bjacob: interested in that.
  • integrate cairo-gl for canvas on Mac and Linux (and maybe WinXP with ANGLE?)
    • bjacob: interested in that
  • themeing using GetThemeBitmap() - bug 561265
  • Hardware accelerated plugin layers on windows
  • Layerize all remaining containers, namely SVG mask/clip-path/filters
  • Component alpha rendering using white and black source surfaces (if we don't get it into FF4)
  • Multiple content processes feeding layer trees to a separate compositing process
  • Animation of layer properties offloaded to the compositing process


Things that would be nice

  • software rasterizer tuning - we could probably use a quick and dirty rasterizer for mobile where the pixels are small
