* Roundtable
** AUSTRALMAGATION: http://cl.ly/image/2D0r1p2Y3W3Y
*** :| (:-\) (o_O) (ಠ_ಠ)
*** Possible as a Plan B (landing customization changes without tab changes), but won't pursue unless fixing TART pref regression turns out to take a very very long time.
** Bug 887951 is where we're changing the tooltip of the menu button
*** Matej wants to know what we're calling the thing. Who do we ask about that?
**** "Menu button"
** Character encoding widget has landed! mikedeboer/dao/Gijs++
** Blogging about Australis?! When/who/what? Rumours keep flying about and I think the sooner we debunk some of them and give a factual overview of what we're planning, the better.
*** what aspect of it? the schedule? I (madhava) have the post that we were going to publish when we land in nightly...
**** More or less: what we have/will change, what we won't change (e.g. persistent rumours we'll kill the bookmarks toolbar / third party toolbars). Schedule I'm less concerned on but is also an aspect. Add-on impact is another. An overview of "what motivates all these changes / what's the unifying motivation of them" is another. I'm not sure 1 blogpost in 1 place is the best thing to cover all these aspects.
*** Madhava has pending post to set initial context for when Australis lands (which will be the first time lots of people will have heard of it or have a chance to try it out). Hard to address things when missing broader context, and the potential audience is pretty small still.
** UX is on mxr: https://mxr.mozilla.org/projects-central/search?find=/ux/&string=
*** rooted at http://mxr.mozilla.org/projects-central/source/ux/
* Action Items (Last Week)
** None
* Action Items (New)
** (mconley) Push on getting TART landed on test infrastructure
*** Currently that's 2 weeks, but can we make it faster?
** (mconley) Talk to perf team on how we can set a target for us to shoot for. We need a treshold to aim for, otherwise we won't know when we're done. This is absolutely critical.
** (mconley) Before the test lands on talos, how do we measure so that we can work effectively while waiting for the test to land
*** Can we be sure that these numbers scale across platforms? Will a relative improvement / regression on one platform match to another platform?
*** In the event that we show no regression against m-c when the test lands, Australis aside, what's the plan for detecting regressions on low-end hardware? Do we get some low-end hardware into the test machine pool?
** (dolske) mull over what/if we should do a broader post/update on current Australis status
** (madhava) to comment in 887951 about menu button tooltip

* Milestone 8, still
** http://i.imgur.com/zxHLr2e.gif
* Perf regression and other landing blockers
** bug 889758 (tpaint regression)
*** [mconley] Still plugging away hard at this. We're off by ~3ms, and we have some ideas on how to reduce the number of reflows that we hit on window open, but it's slow going and complex.
**** We've been reaching out to graphics and layout for help / tips / guidance (bug 902857)
** bug 880611 (ts_paint regression)
** bug 902024 (TART regression)
*** MattN has an idea on how to possibly drop the regression down by 10% (I believe this is to remove the clip path from the new tab button)
** regression data: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Asj8iLTl0K0UdDcxemJEWVVXWTlKek1wR09iS2FsOXc#gid=0
* Bug tracking
** 8/8 to 8/15: P1, P2, P3 ( / / )
* Roundtable
** Character encoding question
*** Instead of enforcing allowedAreaTypes, we're going to just keep the character encoding widget enabled, even for the case where everything inside it is disabled. That's a rare case, and acceptable. \o/
** Jared is going to set a min-width on the browser window. This *might* give us a perf win, if coupled with a patch that stops us from checking if the tabstrip is overflowed with 1 tab. Bug 897160.
** Dao landed the Exit button patch today (bug 871203)
