The Mozilla build system, specifically all the makefiles and the things they do, is scary. I have a personal project (which will inevitably bleed into bugs and patches) to improve it any way I can.

Better Windows Support

I feel that developing mozilla-central on Windows is lacking. Specifically, support for Visual Studio is effectively non-existent. We currently have no official story for Visual Studio other than basic instructions on how to launch an executable with the debugger.

Windows developers love Visual Studio and all its bells and whistles, especially the excellent debugger and the auto-completion. I'm exploring ways to give me that through Visual Studio solutions and projects available from within mozilla-central.
