meeting notes, 2011-10-20

progress on Web Workers pull request

    Brendan has resolved all but one failing test
    a little more refactoring to come
    will soon make a new pull request
   

progress on Apps demo

   Harald is putting a PDF into offline storage and read it offline
   requires having an Application, prefer to have a touch interface
   Artur is working on a demo of text selection
   Yury has addressed the font rendering in the Hearst docs; Artur will try to grab those changes
       Linux rendering issue
       

Vivien has been

   building a chrome extension and addressed various other issues
   experiments with faster font rendering by optimizing how glyps are spaced on the line
   

Julian has been busy with other issues this week

   last week was commenting on Web Print API on bugzilla
   

Code refactoring

   We have a plan for splitting up the large source files into smaller ones
   Small revisions to the plan required by the web workers effort
   

Best Practices for Code Review

   It's better to have more code reviewers, we have many outstanding chrome extensions
   Julian suggests posting to google+ about the chrome extension
   It's better to share the work of doing code reviews
   

Yury has a pull request for JPEG2000 using emscripten

   do we want to bring this machine-generated code into PDF.js
   there are a few bugs in the generated code, those will be very hard to fix
   

Outstanding topic: Jetpack-based Add-on
