Gecko:Task List

• usable layout regression tests (I think roc's mostly done here)
• plugins
  • Needs an owner.
  • There's some low hanging fruit that's been proposed by the plugin-futures group to implement.
• printing
  • UI / preview (its own window)!
  • overly-complicated glue code
  • gfx + OS side (hopefully mostly fixed up with cairo landing)
  • layout stuff (page-breaking improvements, code simplification)
• layout
  • form controls
  • frame construction
    • XBL2 issues
  • reflow
    • Work is ongoing on Gecko:Reflow Refactoring, i.e., changing the way we handle intrinsic width calculation and incremental layout.
    • further cleanup of nsHTMLReflowState following
• gfx
• SVG
• content
  • image loading (dbaron's complaints)
  • range
    • Some easy fixes to just use better interfaces (nsINode rather then nsIDOMNode) and better algorithms.
    • Some standards compliance bugs. Fixing is easy, but we have to make sure there are not internal code that depend on current behaviour.
  • events
    • Currently Gecko:Event Dispatching Coordinates are screwed up. Fixing it is a big task but not hard in principle.
    • widget vs. DOM event duplication
• imglib
  • bz's issues
• editor
  • caret
  • contentEditable
• focus
• docshell
  • document loading
• selection
  • rename classes (dbaron)
• de-optimize data, shrink code
  • O(N^2) data structures
• PresShell / PresContext unification
  • unify lifetimes first

Many tasks, not all in bugzilla, are cited in Gecko:Content Team Minutes. Should we use this wiki page to track tasks discussed there? We need bugs, in any case.
