*** Bug 489936 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Hours for Tuesday.
Hours for yesterday.
A couple hours of build setup and babysitting yesterday and today.
Built a working plugin sample and commented on the bug in Mozilla's tracker.
Adding more hours for patch babysitting.
More patch fixes.
More fixes this morning.
Hours this morning.
Adding more time as this review process is dragging out.
Patch refactoring today.
Morning hours.
Patch refactoring.
More patch noodling.
Patch has been approved, but it needs to be discussed by the plugin-futures group. I've sent an email to them for input.
Fielded a couple of questions on plugin-futures, refactored patch, took pretty much all day to figure out what was wrong with Firefox after I updated it (something was corrupted in my build root and I had to clean it out completely to get it to build again) and finally posted the nitpicky whitespace changes and "OOM" issues.
Updated patch.
Wrote a spec page: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Plugins:NativeAccessibility
Whoops, didn't mean to resolve this.
Adding more hours. This is going to be a _long_ process.
Hours talking with David Bolter and Brian Smedberg today. We're arranging a meeting to discuss the topic on Friday, but it's very likely that the patch will have to be scrapped and restarted when electrolysis hits central. Ugh.
Had a productive meeting with Benjamin Smedberg, Josh Aas, Johnny Stenbeck and David Bolter. Meeting minutes are available at https://wiki.mozilla.org/Content_Processes/Meetings/2009-08-14-plugins. Everyone decided in our favor to commit the patch (mostly) as is ahead of the big 3.7 electrolysis rewrite. Also, it was decided to commit this to the 3.6 branch.
Hours for today.
Prodding for more review.
Responding to email.
Chatted with Josh -- unless we get negative comments on plugin-futures, Josh will approve the spec, and we can commit our patch. Woo!
Adding a bunch of hours, as I'm certain this will require a whole lot more cajoling, blood, sweat and tears.
Hours spent discussing potential proposal with David Bolter, drafting and sending at-spi proposal to accessibility-atspi.
More poking of plugin-futures list yesterday and today.
This patch needs to be completely rewritten for Firefox 3.7.
Hours last week and this week.
Hours for Friday.
Hours for Monday and today.
Unassigning for now as we're targeting Firefox 3.5 for our 2.0 release.
Adding some additional hours. This needs to be complete in the next 6-8 weeks so that it can go into Lorentz.
