= Tantek Çelik =<div class="h-card vcard">Welcome to <span class="p-name fn">Tantek Çelik</span>'s public Mozilla wiki page. More:* <span class="u-url url">http://tantek.com/</span> - my site* [http://twitter.com/t @t] - my Twitter I'm currently (as of 2011-176) a Mozilla employee (previously: contractor as of 2010-146) developing and coordinating work on web [[standards]]. I'm usually in the [[SF]] office MWF and sometimes in the [[Mountain View]] office on Mondays. * Bio + Headshot: <span class="u-url url">http://tantek.com/w/TantekBio</span>* IRC: <span class="u-url url">irc://tantek@irc.freenode.net:7000</span></div> There's also my user page, where I move various pieces of information that doesn't really merit showing up in default wiki search results:* [[User:Tantek]] == projects ==What I'm working on with Mozilla:* [[Tantek-Mozilla-projects]] ---- __TOC__ == contribute ==* Want to work for Mozilla? http://mozilla.org/jobs** Hint, by contributing you can meet people and find out more about working with Mozilla* Contribute to Mozilla: http://mozilla.org/contribute Here's three things you can do to get started:# get on IRC with Colloquy - see https://wiki.mozilla.org/Irc#Colloquy for details#REDIRECT create an account on https://wiki.mozilla.org and edit your user page#* e.g. this is mine: https://wiki.mozilla.org/User:Tantek# create an account on http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ === contributing faq ===* Q: Why can't I edit the [[Main_Page]]?** A: The [[Main_Page]] is only editable by a subset of users. Even I don't have permission to edit it! * Q: My Userpage says: "There is currently no text in this page. You can search for this page title in other pages, search the related logs." - How do I create/edit it?** A: First make sure you have confirmed your email address. Check your email for a confirmation message from MozillaWiki and then click the link in it. You should see a message like "your email address is now confirmed."** A2: Or you can't because you're a new user (this is to reduce the creation of spam pages). Get someone you know at Mozilla to create your page for you as a stub, e.g. with <nowiki>{{stub}}</nowiki>.** A3:TantekOr the MozillaWiki has cached your User page (perhaps from before you confirmed you email). Try loading your user page with a "?" after the URL and see if you get an "Edit" link in the header. == pages ==Some breadcrumbs of pages I'm adding to as a side-effect of my projects.

These aren't tasks I'm taking on (yet) but rather a place to collect potential tasks. Feel free to grab any of these and ask me questions about suggested approach(es) etc. === HTML5 support and documentation === A few ideas for improving the understanding and adoption of Firefox's HTML5 support. Help is definitely encouraged on any / all of these. Want to help out? Feel free to edit this section, add suggestions with your name (please sign with <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> ), and volunteer to help out. The better we document and explain Firefox's HTML5 support, the more developers learn about it and put it to use in real world web apps, the more feedback we get on Firefox's HTML5 implementation and know what to improve and iterate on, etc. A key goal here is to encourage an ever stronger feedback loop that improves the state of the art of HTML5 Web App development in general, and in particular with building increasingly higher fidelity HTML5+CSS3 Web Apps with Firefox as a development platform. Some specific tasks that would help: * Increased documentation of Firefox's HTML5 support/efforts in general (per release). Each release (even dotrevs) should come with a link to a support chart (for HTML5, CSS3 at a minimum).** expanding/updating https://developer.mozilla.org/en/HTML/HTML5*** including https://developer.mozilla.org/en/HTML/HTML5/FAQ* Public test cases that illustrate Firefox's HTML5 support* Public support charts/tables summarizing Firefox's HTML5 support (linking to aforementioned test cases)* A proper draft test suite constructed from those test cases (submit to W3C HTML WG)* Implementation reports based on those test suites* Perhaps a place to gather testimonials about Firefox's HTML5 support See also: Top level [[HTML5]] page on this wiki. === additional potential CSS work ===* '''CSS variables.''' Use case for CSS variables from Joe Walker: <blockquote><p>With Bespin, we're using less.js because CSS by itself can't handle themes and plugins. Having independent parts of the program describe the theme and the thing that should be themed requires something external to both. The obvious solution is CSS variables.</p><p>Put it another way - one part of Bespin provides customizable themes. That part knows nothing about the command line part, which wants to know how to paint itself. If we can have the command line use a CSS variable called @bespin-background, then this can be fulfilled by the theme.</p></blockquote> * '''Proposing -moz- innovations.''' There are numerous -moz- innovations like selectors (e.g. [https://developer.mozilla.org/en/CSS/:-moz-broken :-moz-broken]), properties, and values.** Methodology: if we can document, determine, or hear of (e.g. from web designers/developers) <strong>real world public web use cases</strong> for any particular -moz- innovation, then we should consider pursuing standardization of it. Otherwise, it's better to not standardize so we can change our implementation as needed to match our internal needs (e.g. for UI/themes etc.). === various UI thoughts ===* "about:downloads" to address/bring up a "downloads window" view which would be one way to put the downloads window into a tab (and perhaps even enable that as a default option, downloads in a tab rather than separate window). This seems so obvious that there must be an existing bug / feature request for this. === APNG adoption ===The [[APNG_Specification]] has been stable and interoperably implemented (Firefox, Opera) for quite some time. Some possible next steps to advancing adoption: * Ask authoring tool vendors to implement APNG editing/exporting** Adobe Photoshop* Build a web-based APNG authoring tool** upload some number of PNGs, and have it give you an APNG you can view/download (simple as deploying the existing open source Python script?)** upload an animated GIF and convert it to APNG* Draft an IETF RFC == gift suggestions ==Here are some nice Mozilla / Firefox related gifts from the Mozilla store.* [http://intlstore.mozilla.org/product_info.php?products_id=147 Mozilla Firefox Umbrella] - especially for friends in rainy areas like the Pacific Northwest* [http://intlstore.mozilla.org/product_info.php?products_id=122 Firefox plushie red panda doll]- perhaps for kids == reference ==* [http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4367#section-3 RFC4367: ASCII art diagram of user client DNS server interaction]
