I work with a small team maintaining Firefox on the PowerPC architecture. For more info see [[PowerPC]]<br>
If you want to help, need help, or have questions regarding the PowerPC architecture, please join us on IRC channel '''#ppc64''' on [[IRC|Mozilla IRC network]].
 
=== Status ===
 
We have a buildbot running on ppc64 continuously building mozilla-central: http://mozillaproject.osuosl.org:8010/waterfall <br>
We plan to add automated tests to the buildbot soon. We might also consider building for ppc32.
 
==== We need help! ====
 
If you want to help, here are some areas that need some love:
 
* JS JITs: JavaScript JIT compilers are currently disabled on PowerPC. Needs porting.
* Skia: currently disabled on PowerPC.
* Bug fixing: there are many open bugs against several Mozilla components (mainly Core) on PowerPC.
* There are certainly other components that are disabled for PowerPC that need to be ported. I will add them here as I stumble upon them.
