Discussion Topics

• items of concern on the 1.9 planning sheet
  • Rework array reflection through IDL -- sounds like an API change that would break extensions for 1.9.1 with little immediate value
  • Fix proxies for non-threadsafe objects -- do we need this for 1.9.1, or can we instead pound on XPCOMGC which bypasses the problem altogether?
  • Reparent tabs -- sounds really scary, especially on a 6-week timeframe
  • content in general? Is everything listed as 1.9.1 really realistic in 6 weeks? Can we early cut and focus on the most important things?
  • JS in general -- we've loaded spidermonkey veterans on 1.9.1 and jorendorff/jimb on actionmonkey... perhaps we should rethink who's working on what so that we have some veterans helping with AM/moz2?
• Please add discussion sessions to Summit2008/Sessions/Proposals: Tracing in general, actionmonkey... ?
