==Meeting notes==

attending: dbolter, hub (hubert), trevor (tbsaunde), marcoz, lizzard, yzen, eeejay (eitan)

* Chat about an Android regression.  Top 3rd of screen breaks with AccessFu, it drops down menu or opens the awesomebar.
** What tests can be set up for the team so it doesn't break?
** The fix had something like 8 or 9 patches. The bug is probably in one of those fixes. 

* Q1 goals
* getting better and better on performance,
* minor problems on mac with voiceover
** loads marco's main blog page, it still freezes when voiceover tries to read it
** most important thing now is to provide text editing.  that is not working across the board now. 
** voiceover  needs to update and read the braille. 
** filling out forms with firefox - people are unhappy if they can't control what they've typed. 
** maybe firing too many events is the voiceover problem
** trevor - actually we queue up a lot of events but don't fire them.  (or was he talking about safari?)

* Someone might go through [http://asurkov.blogspot.com/ blog posts that alex wrote] - changes from/for vendors.
