azita, brson, jack, seth, jdm (via irc)
jack: jdm is blocked on 5725 brson: what does this block? jdm: I need it for my DOMParser bindings work, and then most of my subsequent bindings work modifies that in some way brson: I'll ping nmatsakis jack: hopefully this can land before jdm returns from his work week
jack: we should only reflow once right? brson: yes jack: i assume the reflow messages are being sent and queued then processed one at a time. we could have the reflow message handler tick a flag needs_reflow and then trigger reflows from the flag, or we could just peek and consume any duplicate reflow commands. brson: either of those sounds reasonable
jack: yichoi found some linux issues and i've been attempting to fix those. it builds on linux with new skia and azure, but the colors are still swapped so I'll have to track that down. on my machine i don't get any font output though. i suspect we made need use yichoi's patch on linux to fix this.
jack: i think we should go through the css property priority list on the wiki and see what can be marked for new comers who want to contribute brson: margin, padding, and border should be easy, and possibly font-family and such.
brson: we have a linux bot now, but need an OS X bot. we need to buy a mac mini. we'll order one this week. brson: spent last week working on bots, so want to work on rust this week. planning to set up bors in the next few weeks. brson: everyone wants servo automation. meeting today with release engineering.
