Keynote demo

iframes running different things that each do their own thing (e.g., fact in different iframes) any demo with servo, FF, and Chrome where we are faster is super-impressive

ideas for specific changes in individual iframes that continue running

  • changing width/height or style on an item. appendChild is best. background color rotate…
  • demo can have updating images
  • crash task (in the image) not take down the whole page

Breakout demos

re-run the keynote demo Others do not need to be as polished

  • basic acid tests
  • wikipedia

Breakout discussion points

  • Security
  • architectural simplicity
  • parallelism
  • PRODUCT / what does it mean to succeed? there are wins to be had along the way (we experience the marsh to tell them whether to march the army through) maybe compete with FF; maybe be hosted inside of FF; maybe win on a new platform

Discussion: servo is different from other browsers

tree traversals instead of virtual methods

division between layout/flows (IMMUTABLE!) and render boxes. Render boxes are the things that are displayed (as display list items), which aids with word wrapping. Look at renderblock.cpp in webit sometime!
