Roadmap

There are two overarching goals for Servo in 2014:

• Demonstrate better performance than other engines. Servo aims to have significantly better latency and throughput than existing engines.
• Implement the entire Servo architecture. In order to be convincing, we need to render most web pages faithfully with all of our major architectural pieces implemented.

In 2015, we have two high-level goals for Servo:

• Release an alpha-quality browser that uses Servo as its rendering engine
• Land a Servo component that is authored in Rust into Gecko

This roadmap outlines our 2014/2015 planning and highlights both the rough goals for each quarter as well as some of the biggest feature items we hope work with our partners and the community to deliver in those quarters. It does not go into too many details, infrastructure work, product plans, etc.
