e10s Strategies

Round table discussion

• Currently there are two main and opposite directions:
  • Keep Firebug separate tool, compete with DevTools (Sebastian, Simon, ...)
  • Do not duplicate features, build on top of DevTools (Honza, Joe, ...)

• Honza: suggesting DevTools SDK
  • Sebastian: agree
  • Simon: agree too, correct?

• Next steps:
  • Elaborate more every strategy
  • Everyone should put together a Google doc document with more details about strategy.
