Compatibility/Meetings/2023-08-15

Minutes

Call for proposals starting 14th September. If we have compat bugs we think should be interop focus areas, we should start to collect them.

James: We could make the focus to be webcompat again if there're things related to webcompat, we should propose them. Are there specific things tha we know about, like a large number of small issues, especially in other browsers.
Tom: Editing and css zoom are probably going to be considered again
James: for zoom, the spec is still ongoing and it might be too early
Tom: could the focus be investigation?
James: If it's research, then it makes sense. But if it's only a spec work then probably not
Dennis: zoom is a weird edge case because we're going to standardize it under a different name
Tom: There are some issues related to Intersection observers, DOM mutation events
James: Mutation events would be an investigation, rather than a focus area. I think we should have a clear plan of what of what we expect to get out of this investigation. We should talk to Simon and see what he thinks
Honza: I put this on the agenda for a meeting Maire. She wants to collect a list of tests that are not going to get fixed for various reasons, or with unclear spec.
Tom: maybe also script and iframe loading, microtask heuristics (to try to figure out race conditions which trigger less on Chrome because sites target their implementation and test less on others)
James: I think if we want webcompat focus area, we need to have a list of issues and known bugs
