Roadmap

Our long-term plan is to:

Incrementally replace components in Gecko with ones written in Rust and shared with Servo.
Determine product opportunities for a standalone Servo browser or embeddable library (e.g., for Android).

Our 2016 goals for Servo are:

Explore new areas for performance improvements
- e.g., GPU CSS, SIMD layout, DOM wrapper fusion
Fill in remaining placeholder subsystem implementations
- e.g., I/O, caching
Continue adding web platform features
- e.g., media, text input/editing, missing layout & JS features
Bring Windows port to Tier 1
Webrender: Move from prototype to production

Our completed goals for 2016 are:

Create an initial end-to-end browser tech demo that we can start iterating
- browser.html frontend
Oxidation: Ship Rust/Servo components in Gecko
Track performance systematically
- Allow comparisons with Gecko and Blink
- Support more standard benchmarks

Q3 2016

Top priorities for this quarter are:

Finishing WebRender (on by default in master!) plus experiments around WebRender 2
Stylo (style system in Gecko integration work)
Servo Nightly builds support

glenn webrender2
diane working on devtools fetch for profiling, rust-nss with nss team, security stuff
patrick page load performance (for fresh page loads, target FF pre-caching) & layout bugs
alan on error reporting for constellation + script/layout concurrency
nox indexeddb, webfont loading
ms2ger spidermonkey upgrade, JS error reporting
jack windows installer, windows fonts (w/nox), intermittents
lars autoupdate, android, quantum/oxidation
shing testing into servo org, flexbox, stylo, QA rampup
emily Autolander migration, TaskCluster migration
jdm Promise API implementation
