COMconnect/gecko2 planning meeting with Matt D'Ercole on Wednesday.
-
More JS2 interaction with the Chief Architects
Issues
- Investigated komodo's use of network API. Sent mail to Ken Runyon
asking for his input on what features necko was missing.
- Timer fun. Investigated the top crashers caused by some race
condition in the timer code.
- Discussed the need for some kind of special "high bandwidth"
setting in necko. I am not convinced there is a need, but Saari believes
that getting the data off the wire as fast as possible seems like a
first step.
- Continued adding comments, time estimates, and new items to
the Gecko 2.0 document.
- Created testcases for security firedrills.
