Developer Roundtable

Please add any status updates from the past week, including links to relevant bugs, newsgroup discussions, etc:

Visual Refresh: Chrome Polish

• need to make a decision on bug 334697 and bug 279223, as well as potentially changing cursors for "open in new tab" links.

Visual Refresh: Theme Polish

• link to appear here shortly to round-up and next steps

User Experience: Microsummaries

• working on 10 beta 1 bugs with combined SWAG of 12.75 days

Feeds: Parser

Not many bug reports aside from people confused by the lack of HTML.

• Atom cleanup
• UTF-8 should be the default encoding
• nsParser.cpp assumes nsIChannel, but the interface is nsIRequest. crasher.
• HTML sanitizer
• feed parser needs nicer API

Feeds: UI

• should try and reach a decision on the issue of preserving styled feeds or not
• beltzner: ben, do you want me to file bugs on these design suggestions?

Extension Manager: Locale Packs

Can be removed since this won't make Firefox 2.0

Distribution: Installer

• Will be working with Jay Patel (per Time Riley) to QA the differences between the XPInstall based installer vs. the NSIS based installer. I have one significant change in the installation process to make before this can be done (bug 338931).

Developer Documentation

Base "Firefox 2 for developers" doc page is up. As far as I'm aware, everything that's ready to be documented has been. Keeping an eye on progress of the technologies not yet ready to write up, so I can start on them as soon as they're ready to go. Let Sheppy know if you have insights on where to find info on anything not documented in detail yet.

• MozSearch doc is done
• JavaScript 1.7 intro is mostly done, save stuff not quite ready to write up yet

Other Business

David Baron: interface stability policy and leak fixes? Who decides?
