Lower fruit

• Improve video performance - profiling and fixing problems
• better qcms ICCv4 support
  • jrmuizel
• CSS 3D transforms
  • bjacob
  • joe

Medium sized

• border support in layers (9 part layers) - this should let us hardware accelerate border type effects better
  • joe
  • roc: I'm not sure what the goal is here. We need to rework border drawing on the layout side, but I don't think layers and borders are related.
• accelerated layers on linux
  • bjacob
  • joe
• switch away from xlib to cairo-gl and/or 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
  • joe - but we should probably not put more than one person on this
• integrate cairo-gl (maybe just for canvas?) on Mac and Linux (and maybe WinXP with ANGLE?)
  • bjacob
  • joe
• themeing using GetThemeBitmap() - bug 561265
• Hardware accelerated plugin layers on windows
• Layerize all remaining containers, namely SVG mask/clip-path/filters
• Animation of layer properties offloaded to the compositing process
• any WebGL work that would not make it into 4.0 (optimizations, still-in-flux parts of the spec such as color correction, lost-context events, using ARB_robustness...?)
  • bjacob

Things that would be nice

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