Topic: previous meeting, next meeting

Next meeting: The next meeting will be on August 19, 2013

Topic: Raising Web community participation [Karl]

So far these have been the suggestion for participating

First attempt with the Spain community. Karl will give a brief update of the efforts and their success.

  • kdubost: I need your help to know what I should focus on.
  • lmandel: Focus on mozilla contribute efforts. They are very well engaged with FirefoxOS.

Topic: Mozilla Web Compatibility testing tool [Hallvord]

Hallvord made progress on the Web Compatibility Add-on. Hallvord will give a status on the feature of the tool. Should the source code be hosted on a public repository?

  • hallvord: I'm working on 3 tools at the same time.
    • something to detect the prefixes such as webkit. Reading the console is interesting but need to focus on what is really interesting for detecting issues. Mostly intended for us and volunteers who want to help analyze
    • Playing with an extension for the general public that would a feedback with questions to reply sometimes depending on the sites
    • URI stats check for Web compatibility check. (Hallvord showing the UI on the screen). The tools will compare the status of the bug and the real state of the Web site. We will be able to try to detect a lot of stuff.
  • Hallvord: Next step, I need that lawrence review my work on arewecompatibleyet.com
  • lmandel : We might want to get an official hosting place. I don't want to be a bottleneck.
  • hallvord: If we had a little DB that would be a lot easier.
  • kdubost/lmandel: If you need hardware/software, ask it a request.
  • lmandel: If we have something that would need a better dataviz we can ask someone from creative department.
  • hallvord: Right now a bit too much manual work. DB backend will help a lot.
  • lmandel: I would encourage you to talk with Aaron Train. The previous version was dependent on CouchDB.

Topic: August 19 report about Web Compatibility [Lawrence]

We need to produce a 3 minutes report for the rest of the Mozilla Community. Karl will handle the heavy lifting about the progress on the work and Lawrence Mandel will introduce the topic to the rest of the community. The attempted agenda will be:

  1. quick refresh of the problem
  2. problem scope - depends on me getting the stats together before then
  3. recent success stories - all the work that you have been doing
  4. community involvement and standard letters
  5. Bugzilla form - if we can pull this off in time

If you have anything to add please chime in during the meeting.

  • brad lassey: do we have a tool to report broken sites in the nightly for Firefox Android.
  • jsmith: We do not have an addon system in Firefox OS, what could we do there?
  • lmandel: I would say that we could do a webapp
  • brad lassey: fill a bug for it.
