Ok guys.
Looks like we have about 13 people rsvp'd so far.

Lets start getting some ideas flowing for this next meeting.

My suggestion for topics to chat about is the new mobile browser.

Floor is open to other ideas for things to discuss.

We'll probably break into small groups and discuss whatever we can.

Thx :)

I'd like to suggest browser process-per-tab architecture.

Brij,
Would you like to give me a mobile device that can run Fennec? :)


> Floor is open to other ideas for things to discuss.

I'm interest in knowing what Mozilla branch other people are following
and how they do their builds and maintain their patches against the
Mozilla sources. Using XUL Runner or not, etc.

I'm curious if other projects have created XBL bindings that might be re-usable.

Interested in peoples thoughts on a XULRunner incubator repository
(see http://starkravingfinkle.org/blog/2008/08/xulrunner-session-summit-2008/).
I haven't been keeping up, so I don't know if something got started
there.

Trent

I'd like to focus on things that are more core, like building an app with Xul Runner and such.

I'd like to discuss/develop a tool (XUL or script) that could assist in
creating new XULRunner applications. Automating things like:

* app info (name, id, developer, icon, ....)
* initial file/dir layout
* components and extensions installed (XULRunner, PyXPCOM, DOM
Inspector, ...)
* packaging

It's a real pain to do this process manually...

Cheers,
Todd
